VEHICLE REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM

摘要

A vehicle rear suspension system includes a wheel carrying member for rotatably carrying a wheel of a vehicle, three lateral links extending in a transverse direction and connected with the wheel carrying member at their outer ends, and a trailing arm extending in a longitudinal direction. The trailing arm is connected with a body member of the vehicle at front end through a single joint. The trailing arm is formed with biforked portions at a rear end extending in the up and down direction. One of the biforked portions is connected with a lower one of the three lateral link and the other of the biforked portions is connected with an upper one of the three lateral links or the wheel carrying member. The number of connecting points or joints between the trailing arm and the wheel carrying member can be reduced with an improved controllability of wheel attitude.
