The present invention relates to a front axle assembly (4) for a vehicle such as an agricultural tractor, comprising - a suspension construction (11); - two suspension arm constructions (12,13) which extend in opposite directions from the suspension construction and are both adapted at an end remote from the suspension construction to bear a wheel (3) of the vehicle, and which both comprise a suspension arm connected pivotally to the suspension construction; - a coupling element (24 and 33,34) which is movable relative to the suspension construction and extends between the ends of the suspension arm constructions remote from the suspension construction, and which connects the suspension arms to each other such that the pivoting movements of the suspension arms relative to the suspension construction are linked; and - at least one member changeable in length (25,26,34) which is arranged substantially centrally between the ends of the suspension arm constructions remote from the suspension construction and connected to both suspension arms such that, with a change in the length of the at least one member changeable in length, a pivoting movement of both suspension arms relative to the suspension construction can be realized.
