Abstract
A vehicle suspension mechanism including a carrier for carrying a rear wheel rotatably about an axis of rotation, a strut assembly having an upper end connected with a vehicle body and a lower end connected with the carrier, a swingable arm pivotably connected through resilient rubber bushes with the vehicle body at a longitudinally spaced first forward point and a first rearward point and with the carrier at a longitudinally spaced second forward point and a second rearward point, the first rearward point being at a higher level than a plane defined by the remaining three points so that a toe-in movement is produced when the arm is upwardly swung.
