PURPOSE:To obtain sufficient change in toe-in when a vehicle makes a turn so as to improve the cornering performance by configurating a device in such a way that a pair of a right and a left trailing arm which are extended longitudinally, are provided while they are swung up and down, and each of those arms is made of a material in a plate form which can be deformed laterally when it is subjected to a lateral force. CONSTITUTION:A pair of trailing arms 1 and 1 which are provided at a right and a left side of a vehicle while they are extended to the longitudinal direction, are pivoted on a body 3 at their front ends by way of brackets 2 while they are swung up and down. And each arm 1 is given high stiffness longitudinally and vertically, and is made of a material in a plate form, the stiffness value in the lateral direction of which is set to allow the plate to be deformed when the plate is subjected to a lateral force. A support 4 is installed on the rear end of each of the trailing arms 1 to support a rear wheel 5 rotatably, and a torsion beam 6 as a cross member is connected between extensions 4b and 4b of those supports 4. And the other end of a lateral rod 8 which is connected with one end of the above said beam 6 by way of a bracket 7, is supported by the body 3 by way of a bracket 9. |
