ABSTRACT:
A multi-link type suspension system includes a knuckle for rotatably supporting an axle, an upper arm extending laterally of the vehicle body to connect the knuckle with the vehicle body above the axle, a leading arm extending outwardly and forwardly of the vehicle body from a rear inside position of the vehicle body to connect the knuckle with the vehicle body above the axle, a lower arm extending laterally of the vehicle body to connect the knuckle with the vehicle body below the axle, a trailing arm extending outwardly and rearwardly of the vehicle body from a front inside position of the vehicle body to connect the knuckle with the vehicle body below the axle, and a control arm extending laterally of the vehicle body to connect the knuckle with the vehicle body in rear of the axle. The longitudinal distance from an outer end of the control arm to an outer end of the leading arm is set larger than a longitudinal distance from an outer end of the upper arm to the outer end of the leading arm, and a longitudinal distance from the outer end of the control arm to an outer end of the trailing arm is set larger than a longitudinal distance from an outer end of the lower arm to the outer end of the trailing arm. Thus, it is possible to produce a toe-in during braking to enhance the steering stability.
