A vehicle chassis having upper and lower mounting points thereon and an independent double control arm suspension arrangement for mounting a wheel to the chassis is provided. The independent double control arm suspension arrangement comprises an upper control arm 4 and a lower control arm 6 each having an identical shape and construction. The upper control arm 4 has an upper pivot end 10 and the lower control arm 6 has a lower pivot end 14. The upper pivot end 10 is attached to the upper mounting point and the lower pivot end 14 is attached to the lower mounting point such that the upper control arm 4 and lower control arm 6 can pivot relative to the chassis and an upper oscillatory end 8 and a lower oscillatory end 12 are capable of oscillating along a fixed arc defined by the upper control arm 4 and lower control arm 6 respectively. A support for the wheel 24 is connected to the upper oscillatory end 8 and the lower oscillatory end 12.
