- 16 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A rear wheel suspension for a motor vehicle having front wheel drive includes a telescopic strut rigidly mounted to a wheel support member and having its upper end pivotably mounted to the vehicle chassis. Two laterally extending control arms are pivotably connected at their outboard ends to the wheel support member and at their inboard ends to the vehicle chassis. The two control arms are spaced and have a spring seat bracket pivotably mounted therebetween which seats an outer end of a transverse leaf spring interposed between the bracket and the vehicle chassis. The spring seat is pivotable with respect to the control arms to allow the control arms to undergo jounce and rebound movement while maintaining the spring seat bracket in a near horizontal position. In addition, the spring seat bracket allows the control arms to control the toe angle of the rear wheel during recession of the rear wheel as well as evenly distributes the leaf spring load onto the two arms.
