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 aforementioned points are arranged so that the distance between the line connecting the first forward and first rearward points and the line connecting the second forward and second rearward points increases toward the rearward direction, whereby a toe-in movement is produced when the arm is upwardly swung.
