Patent ID: 7823894

Claim:
Motor-vehicle independent suspension for connecting a wheel carrier of a vehicle wheel to a vehicle body, the suspension comprising at least one lower arm connected to the vehicle body and at least one upper link connected to the vehicle body, wherein said at least one lower arm carries at least two substantially blade-like flexible members which are connected to the wheel carrier of the wheel and the planes of which intersect along one common axis of predetermined orientation defining a first shear axis of the suspension; wherein said at least one lower arm is connected to the vehicle body by a pair of a first bush and a second bush; wherein said at least one lower arm is configured to define a second shear axis of predetermined orientation acting in series with the first shear axis, in such a manner that when the wheel carrier is subject to an external force acting in a substantially horizontal plane the displacement of the wheel carrier results from the combination of the rotations of the wheel carrier about the two shear axes; and wherein said at least one lower arm includes a longitudinal arm connected to the vehicle body by the first bush.
