Abstract
An automotive wheel suspension in which forces acting transversally of a strut comprising, in telescoping relationship, a shock absorber and an elongated spring element, as a result of substantially vertical movement of the wheel are compensated by positioning the spring element substantially eccentrically relative to the axis of the shock absorber so that it substantially conforms to the direction of the resultant or sum of the forces causing vertical movement of the wheel.
