The disc brake unit is provided in its central portion with a recess opened to an inner side of the chassis, an outer end fixing portion of the lower control arm for connection to the support member being set in said recess so as to be close to the center line of ground contact of the wheel. In the above-mentioned strut type suspension for automobiles, which is provided with an internally expansible drum brake unit in a wheel, a support base to which an anchor block is fixed is formed on an inner side surface of a back plate of the drum brake unit so as to project inward therefrom, and a recess defined in an outer side surface of the back plate so as to deflect toward the projecting support base. An outer end fixing portion of the lower control arm, which is joined to the support member, is set in the recess so as to be close to the center line of ground contact of the wheel.
