PURPOSE: To both increase the lateral rigidity of a front suspension and reduce the action of compliance steering, by mounting a panel rod between a front axle and the rigid member of a car body.
CONSTITUTION: A panel rod 8, placed in the same direction further in the same tendency inclinatin as a steering relay rod 7, is mounted between a front axle 3 in a front suspension and the rigid member of a car body. In this way, the panel rod 8 plays the role as a reinforcing member and increases lateral rigidity of the suspension. Accordingly, even if side force (f) is applied to wheels 40, 40, the front axle 3 rarely causes its relative movement in the direction of a car width for the car body, thus the action of compliance steering (c) is rarely generated.
