Abstract
A motor vehicle rear suspension has wheels rotatably supported at the outer ends of an axle that is positioned by a longitudinally extending upper arm and left and right laterally extending suspension arms connected to the vehicle body by compression loaded links. A torsion bar has a transverse portion supported on the vehicle body and longitudinal end portions connected to the laterally extending suspension arms. The bar functions as a main suspension spring for the rear wheels, as a positioning member for the lateral arms and as an anti-roll stabilizer bar.
