A haulage vehicle having a vehicle suspension system for providing a flexible connection between a vehicle chassis and at least one axle housing, The vehicle suspension system has three longitudinal link members, at least one fransverse linlc member, and at least one resilient member situated adjacent each end of the axle housing; all of which are connected at one end to the vehicle chassis and at an opposite end to the axle housing, The at least one transverse link member is configured to substantially prevent movement of the axle housing in a transverse direction, and the three longitudinal linlc members are each substantially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the chassis and are spaced apart to provide a three point connection between the chassis and the axle housing. The three point connection is configured to keep the axle housing in a substantially transverse orientation relative to the chassis and to prevent rotation of the axle housing about the longitudinal axis of the axle housing while allowing movement of the axle housing in the vertical plane. Movement of the axle housing in the vertical plane is limited by the resilient members which connect each end of the axle to the chassis,
