Front and rear elongated spring arrangements are connected to each other through an intermediate equalizer arrangement. The front spring arrangement has a leaf spring pivotally attached between the chassis and the equalizer arm of the equalizer arrangement. The rear spring arrangement has a shorter leaf spring pivotally attached to the equalizer arm and assisted by a shock absorber attached between the rear end of the leaf spring and the chassis. A guiding device guides the rear end of the second spring element up and down with respect to the chassis in a vertical course.
