ABSTRACT:
A road vehicle suspension unit particularly suited for the front wheels of a front wheel drive vehicle has an outer subframe consisting of a double-wishbone structure which supports the road wheel and is mounted on a rigid inner subframe so as to accommodate vertical road wheel movement, which is strongly opposed by a spring or damper device. The inner subframe is mounted on the vehicle chassis or body by forward and rear resilient mountings such that horizontal wheel movement also is strongly opposed but with provision for some rearward movement of the wheel by turning of the subframe about an axis through the forward mounting.
