<p>The invention relates to a rear suspension for motor vehicles, of the type including two longitudinal arms (6) articulated to the body of the motor vehicle at their front ends (7) and carrying the rear wheels (3) of the motor vehicle at their rear ends, with compression springs (17) interposed between the longitudinal arms (6) and the body. The supports for the articulation of the longitudinal arms (6) are carried by a sub-frame (8) which is fixed to the body and the compression springs (17) are interposed between each longitudinal arm (6) and the sub-frame (8). In this way, the whole suspension can be assembled on the sub-frame (8) before the latter is mounted on the body. The sub-frame (8) comprises two lateral supports (10) provided with attachments (12, 14) for fixing to the body, and a tubular cross member (11) rigidly connected at its ends to the two lateral supports (10). Each spring (17) is arranged with its axis substantially horizontal and has its front end connected to the respective lateral support (10) of the sub-frame (8) and its rear end connected to a bracket (21) which is fixed to the respective longitudinal arm (6).</p> |
