Suspension apparatus for a vehicle wheel carried by a wheel spindle, comprising:
- a) a frame for mounting said wheel to a vehicle body;
- b) a link arm connected to said frame for forming a connection to the wheel spindle, said link arm having an opening;
- c) a substantially tubular and U-shaped spring means having a first end and a second end, said first end being connected to said link arm;
- and
- d) a stabilizer disposed inside said spring means and protruding from said first end of said spring means through the opening in the link arm.
