Abstract
A suspension system is disclosed which controls the movement of a wheel carrier relative to the body of a vehicle. The suspension system includes one or more links () connected at one end to the wheel carrier and at the other end to the vehicle body as to define a linkage. The linkage is so constructed and arranged that the stiffness or reaction of the suspension to longitudinal forces applied at the wheel contact patch is greater than the stiffness or reaction of the suspension to longitudinal forces applied substantially at the axis of rotation of the wheel.
