Claim:
1. A motor-vehicle suspension system of the MacPherson type comprising: a pair of wheel supports; two shock absorbers each having a body bolted to a corresponding wheel support with a top end connected to a structure of the motor vehicle; and a leaf spring, which counters vertical movements of the wheel supports, is set transverse to a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle, is connected to the structure of the motor vehicle via four elastic supports, and has two ends connected to the respective wheel supports, said suspension system being characterized in that: said leaf spring is made of a single piece having opposite ends each having a forked shape, with two prongs made of a single piece with said leaf spring, wherein each prong is connected separately to the corresponding wheel support by an elastic support or a ball joint; and said suspension system does not comprise other connection elements between each wheel support and the structure of the motor vehicle so that said transverse leaf spring is used also as an auxiliary frame on which components of the suspension can be assembled prior to installation on the structure of the motor vehicle.
