Abstract: An independent wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle includes a trailing arm (70) mounted for pivotal resilient movement through pivotal connecting members (72, 74), carried in the vehicle chassis (78). Resilient pivotal connection to a strut assembly (10) is effected through ball stud (56). The configuration and positioning of the trailing arm (70) and its mountings (72, 74, 56) elevates the vehicle roll center and reduces toe-out of the vehicle wheels during recession. An economical stamped support structure (20) having a spindle support member (36) and a strut support member (38) is utilized in the system. A combination spring seat and steering arm (22) is fixed to the top of the strut support member (38).
