ABSTRACT:
A strut type suspension with a reduced difference between left and right suspensions in a moment-arm length change during stroke operations of left and right suspensions in phase is disclosed. The suspension includes a strut, an upper spring seat, a lower spring seat, and a coil spring. A coil center axis of the coil spring and a kingpin axis are set to be in a twisted relationship. In a plan view seen from an upper side along an axis of the strut, a lower axis center of the coil spring is located in a front side of the vehicle with respect to the axis of the strut, and, in said view, a line connecting an upper axis center of the coil spring and the axis of the strut extends in a rotating angle around the axis of the strut between 40 degrees and 50 degrees with respect to a line connecting the lower axis center of the coil spring and the axis of the strut.
