A support system ( 3, 5, 54, 55 ) designed to connect a wheel ( 2 ) to suspension elements ( 4, 41, 74, 75, 76 ) of an automobile, the support system comprising cambering means that confer upon the wheel carrier ( 3 ) a degree of camber freedom relative to the suspension elements, the cambering means comprising a triple hinge ( 5 ), the triple hinge comprising three essentially longitudinal axes, the triple hinge comprising two flanges ( 52, 53 ) and two levers ( 54, 55 ), each of the levers being respectively attached to one of the two flanges. The levers are connected on the one hand to the wheel carrier ( 3 ) and on the other hand to the suspension elements. The camber movement of the wheel carrier takes place around an instantaneous centre of rotation (CIR r/s), a lateral distance "dl" separating the transverse position of the instantaneous centre of rotation (CIR r/s) from the transverse position of the wheel base (BR). The system is also configured such that the distance (dl) remains smaller than 40 mm during a camber deflection (alpha) of 0° to -3°.
