A vehicle suspension system for maintaining zero degree camber comprising: right and left suspension assemblies for mounting right and left wheel assemblies to a vehicle chassis; said suspension assemblies each comprising an upper control arm and a lower control arm, each having an outer end for connecting to a wheel assembly and an inner end for connecting to a chassis, a control lever pivotally connected to said chassis at a fulcrum and having a free outer end connecting on of said upper and lower control arms to said chassis for enabling said control arm to extend and retract for maintaining a wheel assembly at a constant camber in response to tilt of said chassis, said control lever having a length that is less than one-half the length of the control arm, and a control rod having an inner end connected to said control lever on a common side of said fulcrum with said control arm and an outer end connected to one of said upper portion and said lower portion of said wheel assembly for maintaining a wheel of said wheel assembly at a substantially constant camber in of said wheel assembly response to a roll force of said chassis about the roll axis of said chassis.
