Abstract
A trailing arm type rear-suspension system having a trailing arm which is connected to a wheel hub for supporting a rear wheel for rotation at one end and to the vehicle body for vertical pivotal movement at the other end by way of a resilient bushing is provided with a camber control link mechanism. The camber control link mechanism comprises first and second control links. The first control link is fixed to the trailing arm at its first end. The second control link is connected to a second end of the first control link for pivotal movement at one end, and to the vehicle body for pivotal movement at the other end. The pivotal center of the second control link on the vehicle body is offset from the pivotal axis of the trailing arm by a preset amount so that the path along which the junction point between the first and second control links is to move when it pivots about the pivotal axis of the trailing arm differs from the path along which it is to move when it pivots about the pivotal center of the second control link on the vehicle body.
