PURPOSE:To provide a suspension device working with the merit of both strut type and double wishbone type by installing a knuckle arm on a damper device supported by a lower arm and an upper arm, the latter being borne at its top and bottom by the car body with a resilient member interposed. CONSTITUTION:When car wheels move up and down during normal straight run of a car, a lower arm 6 swings vertically while an upper arm 8 is free from oscillative swing owing to sbsorption of vertical vibration by a shock absorber 3, functioning as a strut type suspension. Accordingly the camper change is less to lead to enhancement of the running stability. If a load exceeding the damping ability of shock absorber 3 is applied in the event of bumping phenomenon at the time of turning the head, a pair of resilient members 17, 18 are deformed, and the lower 6 and upper 8 arms swing up and down, functioning as a double wishbone type suspension, when the camper will change to a great extent to increase the force of gripping the road surface. Thus the running stability is enhanced. |
