The suspension comprises at least one lower arm ( 14, 18; 42; 14 ) connected ( 24, 34; 24 ) to the vehicle body and at least one upper link ( 16; 58; 60, 62; 64; 66; 16, 68 ) connected ( 30; 63; 67; 30,71 ) to the vehicle body ( 20 ). The lower arm ( 14, 18; 42; 14 ) carries at least two substantially blade-like flexible members ( 22, 23; 22, 23, 25 ), which are connected ( 36, 37; 36, 37, 39 ) to the wheel carrier of the wheel ( 12 ) and the planes of which intersect along one common axis (T 1 ) of predetermined orientation defining a first shear axis of the suspension. The at least one lower arm ( 14, 18; 42; 14 ) is configured so as to define a second shear axis (T 2 ) of predetermined orientation acting in series with the first axis (T 1 ), in such a manner that when the wheel carrier is subject to an external force acting in a substantially horizontal plane the displacement of the wheel carrier ( 12 ) results from the combination of the rotations of the wheel carrier about the two shear axes (T 1 , T 2 ).
