ABSTRACT:
A front suspension of the strut type is modified according to the present invention such that an upper end part of a shock absorber, namely a piston rod, is engaged in an inner sleeve of a mount insulator for a limited axial movement relative to the inner sleeve. The shock absorber also includes a lower end part linked to a wheel support member. When the shock absorber sticks, the upper end part of the shock absorber displaces relative to the mount insulator and thus a spring operatively disposed between the wheel support member and the mount insulator works to dampen the axial load between the mount insulator and the wheel support member. Thus, when an engine idles, the vehicle vibration induced by a roll force from the engine does not resonate with the engine vibration.
