ABSTRACT:
An upper arm in the conventional double wishbone type suspension of a steering vehicle wheel is replaced by a Z-type upper arm assembly including a first arm member extending substantially transversely in the vehicle, a link member extending substantially vertically in the vehicle and a second arm member extending substantially transversely in the vehicle, whereby a more space is allowed for an engine or a transmission at the inboard side of the upper arm assembly as compared with the conventional double wishbone type suspension with availability of a desirable performance in respect of the relation between the relative camber angle and the bounding and rebounding wheel stroke so a to improve a turn running performance of the vehicle.
