Abstract

A suspension for a pair of wheels, preferably non-steerable, of a motor vehicle, comprising a composite, fibre reinforced plastics, leaf spring (13, 130) at each side of the vehicle, connected at one end to the vehicle to extend as a cantilever generally longitudinally of the vehicle and at the other end to a wheel carrier (12, 135). The wheel carriers (12, 135) are interconnected by a member which is of generally U-shape, comprising a torsionally resilient portion (16, 145) extending transversely of the vehicle and end portions (17, 134), and which provides an anti-roll effect and maintains correct alignment between the wheels.
