Twist beam type suspension having a rigid twist beam

摘要

A twist beam type suspension has a twist beam (1) having an increased rigidity. Each of a pair of trailing arms (2L, 2R) has at its front end a joint (5) pivotally mounted on a body of the vehicle and a rear end rotatably supporting a wheel (4L, 4R). The twist beam (1) extends between the trailing arms (2L, 2R) in a side-to-side direction of the vehicle. Opposite ends of the twist beam (1) are connected to the respective trailing arms (2L, 2R). The twist beam (1) has a bent portion (lr) projecting upwardly in the center of the twist beam (1).
