An independent rear wheel suspension for a motor vehicle having front wheel drive includes a telescopic strut (26) rigidly mounted to a wheel support member (28) and having its upper end pivotably mounted to the vehicle chassis (10). Two laterally extending control arms (20, 22) are pivotably connected at their outboard ends to the wheel support member (28) and at their inboard ends to the vehicle chassis (10). The two control arms (20, 22) are longitudinally spaced apart and have a spring seat bracket (30) pivotably mounted therebetween which seats a compression spring (31) interposed between the bracket (30) and the vehicle chassis (10). The spring seat (30) is pivotable with respect to the control arms, to allow the control arms (20, 22) to undergo jounce and rebound movement while maintaining the spring seat bracket (30) in a near horizontal position. In addition, the spring seat bracket (30) allows the control arms to control the toe angle of the rear wheel during recession of the rear wheel. |
