To provide a suspension device capable widening the cabin space by changing the loci of the wheel centers of vehicle wheels.
An upper link 4 and lower links 6 and 8 are coupled between an axle member 2 and a body side member 12 so that the wheel makes a camber change in the negative direction when the wheel W makes a bound stroke. The front end in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction of a trailing arm 10 stretching from the axle member to ahead in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction is coupled with the body side member through a resilient bushing 30. When a prying force in the vehicle vertical direction is fed owing to a camber change of the wheel at the time of the wheel making a bound stroke, the outer cylinder 34 of the resilient bushing 30 where the front end of the trailing arm is coupled by the prying force moves in such a way that the shaft extending in the vehicle width direction makes displacement approximately parallel backward in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction, and this movement of the bushing outer cylinder moves the trailing arm backward in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction viewed on the plan.
