ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for vehicles, in which the supporting center on the vehicle body side of an assist link is offset from the axial center of a bush of a suspension arm member so as to control the swinging locus of the suspension arm member at bumping of the wheel by the different swinging locus of the assist link. By the supporting center on the wheel support member side of the suspension arm member which is offset from the central axis of rotation of the wheel, the wheel at bumping is made toe-in for oversteering tendency to enhance turning ability at turning or is made toe-out for understeering tendency to enhance driving stability at turning and the camber angle of the wheel is made larger for enhancing straight driving stability or is made smaller for enhancing riding comfort and reducing steering power required for turning. Thus, the present invention makes it possible to change properly the toe-control and the camber-control according to characteristics of each kind of vehicle.
