ABSTRACT:
An intersection of an extension of a front lower arm with an extension of a rear lower arm outside a transversely outer side constitutes a lower set point of a virtual kingpin axis. The transversely inner end portion of one lower arm of the front lower arm and the rear lower arm is connected to the body of the vehicle so as to be capable of being displaced in the longitudinal direction of the body. When the wheel is steered, the transversely outer end portion of the lower arm for the externally cornering wheel is displaced rearward while it pivots rearward about the transversely inner end portion of the lower arm, and the rearward displacement is transmitted so as to displace the transversely inner end portion of the one lower arm through a control link. The control link may be divided into two elements.
