ABSTRACT:
A strut type wheel suspension system is modified so as to allow the camber angle of the wheel to change in the negative direction as the wheel moves upward with respect to the vehicle body. The suspension system includes additional links which jointly convert the vertical movement of a lower part of the knuckle into a lateral movement of an upper part of the knuckle. This allows the camber angle of the outer wheel of a vehicle making a turn to change into a more negative value, and thereby increases the cornering power of the wheel. Thus, the present invention increases the freedom in controlling the camber angle of the wheel without losing the benefits of the simplicity of a strut type wheel suspension system.
