A double link type front suspension system for an automotive vehicle of the front engine front drive type or the four wheel drive type.

A shock absorber is disposed [generally vertical] so that its upper end [section] is connected to the vehicle body [while its] and the lower end [section] is [relatively rotatably] pivotally connected [to] by way of a joint formed on the upper portion of the knuckle to either the knuckle itself or the lower end of an intermediate arm which is connected between the upper [section is made around] arm and the knuckle. The lower control arm is connected to the knuckle by way of a ball joint. A steering axis is defined by a [straight] line (steering axis)] passing through [a] the ball joint [for connecting] and the joint on the upper portion of the knuckle [lower section and the lower control arm, thereby making possible to set the steering axis regardless of the upper control arm].
