STRUT TYPE SUSPENSION AND COMPRESSION COIL SPRING FOR SUSPENSION

摘要

A strut type suspension (11) is provided with a compression coil spring (12), a lower spring seat (13), an upper spring seat (14) and a shock absorber (15) that passes the inside of the compression coil spring (12). The compression coil spring (12) is disposed at a position offset to the outside of a vehicle with respect to the shock absorber (15). This compression coil spring (12) is mounted to a vehicle body (30) while being compressed between the spring seats (13, 14). The compression coil spring (12) has large-diameter element wire sections (40a) and small-diameter element wire sections (40b). The large-diameter element wire sections (40a) are provided in a vehicle inside portion (12a) of the compression coil spring (12). The small-diameter element wire sections (40b) are provided in a vehicle outside portion (12b). The element wire diameter (d1) of the large-diameter element wire sections (40a) is larger than the element wire diameter (d2) of the small-diameter element wire sections (40b).
