SUSPENSION STRUCTURE, AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING SUSPENSION CHARACTERISTIC
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012214097
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To improve turning performance of a vehicle having a narrow tread relative to a vehicle height.

In the vehicle having the narrow tread relative to the vehicle height, an upright 3 for rotatably supporting a wheel 2 and a vehicle body 1 are swingably coupled together by an upside upper link 4 and a downside lower link 5. When a roll center is set to become lower than a ground surface in the stationary condition of the vehicle, the upside upper link 4 and downside lower link 5 are disposed so that the roll center can be shifted to the inside of turning during turning traveling. In addition, the upside upper link 4 is set longer than the downside lower link 5, and the maximum allowable length of the downside lower link 5 is determined depending on the length of the upside upper link 4 and the tread or the minimum allowable length of the upside upper link 4 is determined depending on the length of the downside lower link 5 and the tread.
