The reinforcing plate includes a plurality of protrusions(18a), and a bent flange(18b). The protrusions of the reinforcing plate are inserted into the drain holes of the low arm. The bent flange is designed to be securely attached to the edge of the low arm. The low arm is formed by welding upper and lower plates(11,12) to each other. Pipes(13) are installed at the distal ends of the major part the low arm. The pipe is provided with a ball joint(14) and a bush(15). The ball joint is installed to connect the low arm to a knuckle.
