A front engine - front wheel drive automobile having an engine located transversely of the automobile body and a differential gear unit which is sidewardly offset from the longitudinal center line of the automobile body. A left and right drive shafts extend from the differential gear unit to a left and right front wheels and have different lengths so that the drive shafts are inclined with respect to a horizontal plane by different angles. The wheel which is connected with the drive shaft with a larger inclination angle has a larger camber angle than the other wheel. The arrangement is effective to decrease the difference between turning moments about the left and right king pin axes due to the difference in inclination angles of the driving shafts.
