A suspension and braking assembly for a wheel of vehicle, comprises a suspension link (12), a hub (14) mounted on the suspension link for rotation relative thereto, a brake disc (38) mounted for rotation with the hub, friction material pads (50, 54) arranged on opposite sides of the disc, and a piston and cylinder assembly (72, 74) operable to urge the pads against the disc. The link (12) comprises top (24) and bottom (26) mountings for supports. The suspension link (12) also comprises the cylinder (72) of said piston and cylinder assembly which is formed integrally with the remainder of the link. Said disc (38) is mounted for limited movement on the hub (14) in a direction generally parallel to the axis about which the hub rotates.
