Title:
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1991/008918
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An independent suspension applicable to a front or rear wheel of an automobile. This suspension provides different camber change characteristics even when a roll center height or scuffing change stays the same, and improves freedom in suspension design and driving stability. An upper arm is divided into an upper arm (6) on a knuckle side and an upper arm (7) on a car body side and both upper arms are connected so that they can rock freely in the direction of the vertical movement of a wheel. The upper arm (7) on the car body side is connected to a lower arm (4) through a rigid body (9) whose both ends are allowed to rock. This suspension is suitable particularly for a wishbone type independent suspension.
