A vehicle suspension system for a pair of wheels has two torsionally stiff members each of which carries an axle for a respective wheel. The load on each wheel is supported by a gas spring to which relative movement of the wheel and vehicle body is transmitted. The springs are mounted in respective members which are connected to the body, and lever mechanisms are provided to transmit the relative movement of the wheel and body to the springs, the lever mechanisms also being connected to the body. The lever mechanisms are preferably bell-crank levers. The system may also accommodate a levelling system, and interconnections between fluid volumes of the springs, especially where the members are connected by a member which is rigid in bending but torsionally flexible. The system is particularly useful as a rear suspension for a passenger car.
