ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an automobile suspension of a vehicle, which can suspend two wheels located on the sides of the vehicle. The automobile suspension includes a pair of torsion bars extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, a pair of brackets projecting inwardly from a pair of body side members of the vehicle and a pair of rear arms mounted on the pair of brackets. Each rear arm is mounted on an end of each torsion bar. Each bracket includes at least two vertical walls having an interval defined therebetween and each vertical wall has an upper recess thereon. The upper recess of each vertical wall is aligned with the uper recess of another vertical wall. A protrusion is projected upwardly from the bracket and the protrusion is located between the two vertical walls. Each rear arm includes at least two vertical plates and a cylinder. The two vertical plates define a space therebetween, and the cylinder penetrates the two vertical plates. The space defined between the two vertical plates is shorter than the interval defined between the two vertical walls of the bracket. A bottom recess is defined between the two vertical plates and the cylinder, and both ends of the cylinder project outwardly from the two vertical plates. The ends of the cylinder are rotatably mounted on the upper recesses of the bracket. In assembled condition, the protrusion is located within the bottom recess of the rear arm, so that the rear arm is positioned at the predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle.
