ABSTRACT:
A suspending apparatus for vehicles includes a suspension arm having a wheel-side supporting portion and two vehicle body side supporting portions to support a wheel so that the wheel can reciprocate vertically relative to the vehicle body. A first centerline connecting the two vehicle body side supporting portions extends obliquely relative to a second centerline defined by a wheel shaft which supports the wheel. The vehicle body side supporting portions are positioned such that the first centerline passes through a corner portion of a vehicle component, such as a fuel tank. A side surface of the suspension arm between the two vehicle body side supporting portions extends along the corner portion of the vehicle component, while being spaced therefrom. The suspension arm includes a base plate and a subplate, the base plate having a substantially C-shaped cross section. Opposite edges of the subplate are respectively fixedly attached to the free edges of the base plate, and the subplate is bent inwardly relative to the C-shaped section so that a free edge of the subplate is disposed between the side walls of the base plate to form a bent portion which reduces the concentration of stresses in the base plate adjacent the free edge of the subplate.
