Abstract
A swing-arm type suspension having a suspension arm for suspending a road wheel on a vehicle body. A lateral link is also provided for restricting yawing movement of the suspension arm and thereby for restricting toe-angle change. The suspension arm is connected to the vehicle body by bifurcated legs via elastic bushings. The suspension arm is adapted to roll in response to rolling movement about a camber axis to change camber. The actual camber axis of the suspension arm is so arranged as to reduce toe-out change in accordance with the rolling movement of the suspension arm to cause positive camber.
