The suspension comprises a member, on which a road wheel of the vehicle is rotatably mounted, and spaced upper and lower pivotal links extending from the member mounting the wheel to the structure of the vehicle. The lower link is L-shaped and has a first limb extending outwardly from the vehicle structure to the wheel-mounting member and a second limb extending generally-longitudinally of the vehicle and is attached to its structure. The suspension also includes a control link which extends between the vehicle structure and the wheel mounting member to control the steer alignment of the wheel-mounting member. The inboard end of the control link lies outboard of the line and can be either higher or lower than that line. The location and geometry of the control link are chosen to produce desired changes in steer alignment of the wheel-carrying member during suspension deflections of the vehicle wheel.

A vehicle suspension comprising a member on which a road wheel of the vehicle can be rotatably mounted and spaced upper and lower pivotal links extending from the wheel-mounting member to the structure of the vehicle, the lower link being L-shaped and having a first limb extending outwardly from the vehicle structure to the wheel-mounting member and a second limb which extends generally-longitudinally of the vehicle and is attached to the structure at first and second locations along its length, the suspension including a control link extending between the vehicle structure and the wheel-mounting member to control the steer alignment of the wheel-mounting member.
