ABSTRACT:
According to a front suspension system, an upper control arm or link is pivoted at an inner end to a suspension member that is connected to a side rail. The upper link extends below the side rail and is connected at an outer end to a rotary joint receiving an upper edge portion of a knuckle. A lower control arm or link is pivotally mounted at two split distance inner ends to the suspension member and extends below the upper link, At an outer end portion, the lower link pivotally supports a lower edge portion of the knuckle. The rotary joint pivotally supports a bracket that holds a lower end portion of a shock absorber of a strut. The rotary joint has a joint axis that has an extension passing through a portion at which the lower edge portion pivots on the lower link. The upper link has a link axis that intersects the joint axis and an intermediate portion spaced along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle from the link axis. The upper link is normally held, with a predetermined rigidity, in a predetermined positional relationship with the link axis.
