ABSTRACT:
A double link type suspension system for use, for example, in an automotive vehicle of the front engine front drive type or the four wheel drive type is comprised of a knuckle for rotatably supporting a wheel of the vehicle. Upper and lower control arms are swingably connected at their inboard end section with a vehicle body. The outboard end section of the lower control arm is connected through a first joint to a lower section of the knuckle. Additionally, an extension member is provided to connect both the outboard end sections of the upper and lower control arms. The extension member is also movably connected through a second joint to the upper part of the knuckle, in which an imaginary axis connecting the first and second joints serves as a steering axis around which the wheel is turnable to steer the vehicle, thereby increasing freedom of selection of location of the outboard end section of the upper control arm.
