Claim 21:
22. A leaning wheel suspension system for use with a vehicle having a vehicle longitudinal axis, at least one latitudinal wheel axis intersecting the longitudinal axis and a frame extending along the longitudinal axis, said leaning wheel suspension system comprising:
(a) a front steering base having a central steering axis that defining with the longitudinal axis a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the latitudinal axis, and right and left pairs of upper and lower proximal suspension axes being spaced from each other and parallel to each other and to said plane; the front steering base comprising a steering bore extending along the central steering axis and at least partially between said right and left pairs of upper and lower proximal suspension axes, and left and right pairs of upper and lower suspension axles extending along the corresponding proximal suspension axes;
(b) right and left pairs of upper and lower parallel suspension arms, each having a distal, knuckle engaging end and a proximal, frame engaging end pivotally connected to the corresponding proximal suspension axle so as to pivot about the proximal suspension axis along which the suspension axle extends independently of the corresponding arm of the other pair;
(c) right and left knuckle assemblies, each having upper and lower distal suspension axes parallel to the corresponding proximal suspension axes, and comprising a knuckle having a vertical knuckle axis, connected to the knuckle engaging ends of the corresponding suspension arms so as to enable the arms to pivot about the distal suspension axes; and
(d) a shock absorbing element interconnecting the lower suspension arms of the right and left pairs of the suspension arms and having a shock absorbing axis parallel to the latitudinal wheel axis and spaced from the front steering base along the longitudinal axis,
wherein the upper suspension arms of the right and left pairs are configured with a greater length than the lower suspension arms of the right and left pairs, so as to provide the right and left knuckle assemblies with positive camber angle.
