PURPOSE: To optimize a buffer ratio and to shorten the lever length of disturbance force by pivoting a lower wheel guide member and a shock absorber to a lower joint, and making a turning swivel axis so as to be extended through the center axis of both upper and lower joints, in this front wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle. CONSTITUTION: Two wheel guide members 4 and 6 are installed up and down in relation to a wheel rotational axis R. In this case, the lower wheel guide member 6 and a shock absorber 7 support a wheel carrier 2 via two joints 8 and 9 of a common bearing element 5, respectively. On the other hand, the upper wheel guide member 4 supports this wheel carrier 2 via a joint 3. Then a turning swivel axis 14 passing this joint 3 of the upper wheel guide member 4 is made so as to pass through the center axis of both upper and lower joints 8 and 9. With this constitution, the optimization of a buffer ratio and the shortening of disturbance force lever length both are promotable. |
