Abstract
A vehicle rear suspension system having a substantially longitudinally extending swing arm and three lateral links. The swing arm is attached at the front end through a rubber bush to the vehicle frame and connected at the rear end rigidly to a wheel hub carrier. The lateral links are connected at the outer ends to the wheel hub carrier through ball joints and at the inner ends to the vehicle body through rubber bushes. The rubber bushes for connecting the lateral links to the vehicle body have axes which are located such that, in a projection to a longitudinally vertical plane, the axes are directed toward the center of swinging movement of the swing arm.
