A rear suspension for motor vehicles with independent wheels is described, in which the support (3) for each wheel (1) is connected to the structure (2) of the motor vehicle by means of an articulated quadrilateral system including an upper transverse member and a lower transverse member. The upper transverse member is constituted by a single transverse arm (5) articulated by a ball joint (10) to the wheel support (3). The lower transverse member is constituted by a triangular structure (6) comprising a main lower arm (7) and an auxiliary lower arm (8). This structure is also articulated to the wheel support (3) by means of a ball joint (20) which defines, together with the ball joint (10) of the upper transverse arm (5), a steering axis of the wheel. The wheel support (3) is also provided with a projecting arm (25) to which a steering control rod (22) is connected and which is in turn connected to the lower triangular structure by means of a connecting rod member (26).
