A suspension for a driven rear axle of a motor vehicle is such that the rear axle is guided by generally longitudinally extending control arms which are pivotally connected to a vehicle body having a drive line which is able to transmit to the rear axle such displacement forces as may be imposed on the vehicle engine in the event of frontal impact of the vehicle. The control arms are made axially deformable to provide conversion of kinetic energy into deformation work, and/or the pivotal mountings for the control arms at the vehicle body are arranged to be displaceable, for example by tearing away from the vehicle body, to provide conversion of kinetic energy into deformation work in the event of frontal impact of the vehicle.
