An independent vehicle suspension including triple jointed arm assemblies mounted to a centrally positioned spindle assembly. The angled configuration of the arms allow the spindle assembly to travel in any direction within the plane of suspension travel. Leaf springs, which mount to the inner arms of the arm assemblies, act in a manner to limit the rotation of the inner arms, and return the inner arms to a set position. Spring loaded struts mount to the spindle assembly and apply force to the spindle assembly. The springs and the spring loaded struts work in combination with the arm assemblies and allow the suspension to maintain camber, or follow a path of suspension travel as imparted by the driving surface. A travel stop limits the inward travel of the suspension to allow the suspension to experience forces incurred in situations other than straight line driving.
