Abstract
The suspension comprises a wheel support constrained to move about an axis of rotation relative to the vehicle body by a linkage arrangement connected between the wheel support and mountings on the vehicle body. The linkage arrangement has first and second arm members arranged such that imaginary extensions thereof intersect at a point outside of the centre of a wheel mounted on said wheel support and to the rear of the axis of rotation of the wheel and has a third linkage between said vehicle body and said wheel support which is connected to the vehicle body at a position that lies outwardly from the position at which the second arm is coupled to the vehicle body and to the rear of an imaginary line extending between the position of connection of the first arm to the body and the position of connection of the second arm to the vehicle body.
