A rear wheel suspension system for vehicles includes a wheel carrier for rotatably supporting a wheel. The wheel carrier has upper, lower, front and rear ends. An upper control arm is provided to connect the upper end of the wheel carrier to a vehicle body, while a lower control arm is provided to connect the lower end of the wheel carrier to a vehicle body. The lower control arm includes front and rear control links, and a trailing arm is disposed in a longitudinal direction with respect to the vehicle body and connecting the front end of the wheel carrier to the vehicle body. When the wheel is aligned such that a toe angle of the wheel becomes &ldquo;0&rdquo;, the front control link and the trailing arm are aligned such that a longitudinal axis of the front control link of the lower control arm intersects a longitudinal axis of the trailing arm at a wheel center.
