Abstract
The invention relates to a suspension device ( ) intended to connect a wheel carrier ( ) to a body ( ) of a vehicle, the device having means ( ) conferring to the wheel carrier, with respect to the body, a degree of camber freedom and a degree of suspension deflection freedom substantially independent of one another. The said means comprises an intermediate support ( ) linking the wheel carrier to the body, the intermediate support being, on the one hand, articulated with respect to the body along a substantially vertical first axis (ASI) and, on the other hand, articulated to the wheel carrier along a second axis (R R ), so that a rotation of the intermediate support about the first axis permits the degree of camber freedom.
