ABSTRACT:
A double link type front suspension system for an automotive vehicle of the front engine front drive type or the four wheel drive type is comprised of upper and lower control arms for swingable connecting a knuckle for rotatably supporting a front wheel to a vehicle body. A curved extension bracket is provided to rotatably connect the knuckle upper section with the upper control arm. The extension member is movably connected at its upper end section with the outboard end section of the upper control arm and rotatably connected at its lower end section with the knuckle upper section. The relative rotation between the extension member and the knuckle upper section is made around a straight line (steering) axis) passing through a ball joint for connecting the knuckle lower section and the lower control arm, thereby making it possible to set the steering axis regardless of the upper control arm.
