Independent suspension for road vehicle - with crossed upper tracking arms and negative inclination of wheel

摘要

The wheel hub support (2) runs from a lower attachment point for the lower track arm (3) to an upper support (9) for the upper tracking arms (41, 42), with the upper attachment point set outwards over the wheel. The upper arms are crossed, with the crossing point on the upper extension of the line through the hub support. The damper (6) is set between the lower track arm (3) and the inboard mounting point of the upper arms. The crossed arms have one arm curved over the imaginary crossing point (D). ADVANTAGE - Compact suspension, large suspension movements inside compact wheelarch.
