• a single joint at the outer end of each of said lateral links for pivotally connecting said lateral links with the wheel carrying member, the single joint at the outer end of said second lateral link being disposed above the single joints at the outer ends of the first and third lateral links and the single joint at the outer end of said first lateral link being disposed forward of the single joint at the outer end of said third lateral link relative to the vehicle;
• a single joint at the inner end of each of said lateral links for pivotally connecting said lateral links with at least one structural member of the vehicle;
• a first arm and a second arm, together forming a biforked trailing arm, extending in a substantially longitudinal direction relative to the vehicle, said first arm and said second arm both extending rearwardly, relative to said vehicle;
• a single front joint for pivotally connecting a front end of said biforked trailing arm with the structural member of the vehicle;
• a first rear joint for pivotally connecting said first arm with an intermediate portion of the first lateral link, between the joints at the outer and inner ends thereof, at a rear end of said first arm;
• and
