Abstract
An improved rear suspension system for an automotive vehicle of the type including a T-shaped front lower arm and a rear lower arm is disclosed. The rear suspension sytem includes a first pivotal point pivotally supported on a vehicle body via a bush, a second pivotal point pivotally supported on a supply member and a third pivotal point pivotally supported on the vehicle body. The third pivotal point is located inwardly from a line extending through the second pivotal point and an intersection defined by an extension line extending from a center line of the rear lower arm and a central plane of the rear wheel. A ratio of a longitudinal spring constant of the bush to a lateral spring constant thereof is smaller than a ratio of a tangent of an angle defined by a line extending through the third pivotal point and the first pivotal point as well as a lateral axis of the vehicle to a tangent of an angle defined by a line extending through the third pivotal point and the second pivotal point as well as a longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
