In order to provide a suspension which is inexpensive and light in weight and which can attain substantially improved vehicle-riding comfort without lowering drivability, an axle is hanged from a chassis side (side rails) by resilient supports (leaf and air springs) with different spring characteristics arranged forwards and rearwards of the axle. The axle 1 is allowed to make rolling motion due to difference in spring characteristic between the forward and rearward resilient supports.

Suspension

Disclosed are a stabilizer with conventionally unattainable, extreme swift effectiveness and an air leaf suspension using the stabilizer. The stabilizer has a stabilizer barwhich is U-shaped when seeing from above and which has a portionlaterally extending along and rotatably connected to an axle, and a pair of upwardly convergent stabilizer linkswhich connect opposite longitudinally extending ends of the stabilizer bar to a chassis frame side above them.
