<p>A suspension apparatus comprising: an upright suspension member (10) for locating, in use, a vehicle's wheel and hub assembly (16); an upper suspension arm (12) provided with a first distal end portion (12a) which is pivotably mounted to the upright suspension member (10); a lower suspension arm (14) provided with a first distal end portion (14a) which is pivotably mounted to the upright suspension member (10); an opposing second distal end portion (10b) which, in use, is pivotably mounted to a vehicle chassis member; and a spring member retained, in use, between the second distal end portion (12b) of the upper suspension arm and an underlying vehicle chassis member; wherein the upper suspension arm (12) is pivotably mountable to a vehicle chassis member about a pivot point (12d) located between its opposing first and second distal end portions (12a,12b) thus serving, in use, to transfer a vehicle wheel's vertical acceleration forces from the first distal end portion (12a) of the upper suspension arm (12) to the spring member.</p> |
