A vehicular suspension device comprises a wheel carrier which is articulated relative to the suspension elements. This connection is provided by rigid connection rods. This additional degree of freedom permits variation of the camber angle independently of the suspension spring movement and of the deformations of its elements. The variation of the camber is preferably controlled by the forces sustained by the wheel in the ground contact area of the tire. This is obtained by a configuration in which the movements of the wheel relative to the body of the vehicle allow an instantaneous center of rotation which is situated beneath the plane of the ground.

The combination of claim 12, wherein said connecting means additionally defines a pivot means for mounting said mouse surface on said second end of said arm for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. 14. The combination of claim 13, wherein said mouse surface includes parallel first and second mouse surface portions, and said mouse surface is moveable about said horizontal axis for alternatively positioning said first and second surface portions in an upwardly facing orientation. 15. The combination of claim 14, wherein a mouse catcher is removably connected to said mouse surface and has a portion thereof arranged to upstand from that one of said mouse surface portions arranged in said upwardly facing orientation to prevent movement of a mouse off of said one of said mouse surface portions when same is tilted rearwardly relative to a horizontal orientation. 16. The combination of claim 11, wherein said connecting means includes a first post upstanding from said second end of said arm, a second post extending normal to said mouse surface, and a pivot means for
