VEHICLE AND A SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR THE VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle and a suspension system for the vehicle are disclosed. The suspension system includes a wheel knuckle and a control arm coupled to the wheel knuckle. The control arm includes a proximal end having a first arm segment and a second arm segment each extending outwardly from the proximal end away from each other to respective first and second distal ends to define a space between the first and second arm segments. The suspension system also includes a biasing device at least partially disposed in the space between the first and second arm segments. The biasing device is coupled to at least one of the first and second distal ends of the first and second arm segments respectively such that actuation of the biasing device provides a first reaction force that counteracts a downward load.

1. A suspension system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
a wheel knuckle; a control arm coupled to the wheel knuckle, with the control arm including a proximal end having a first arm segment and a second arm segment each extending outwardly from the proximal end away from each other to respective first and second distal ends to define a space between the first and second arm segments; a biasing device at least partially disposed in the space between the first and second arm segments, with the biasing device coupled to at least one of the first and second distal ends of the first and second arm segments respectively such that actuation of the biasing device provides a first reaction force that counteracts a downward load acting on the control arm, with the first reaction force being substantially proportional to the downward load to substantially maintain a position of the wheel knuckle.
