Abstract

A suspension system (10) for a vehicle wheel st comprising an upper leaf spring (21) and a lower leaf spring (20) each being mounted or mountable on opposed sides of an associated vehicle generally transversely of the associated vehicle axle (15), one end of each upper and lower leaf spring (21, 20) comprising connection means (17, 18) for attachment thereof to an associated vehicle chassis, and auxiliary spring means (30) mounted in series with the upper leaf spring (21) and arranged to provide the associated vehicle with ride characteristics and dynamic deflection geometry substantially the same as those of a conventional solo leaf spring system as herein defined (FIG. 1).
