ABSTRACT:
A suspension arm has a rigidity in the side direction of the vehicle but has a flexibility in the longitudinal direction. The suspension arm has a wheel-side connecting member connected to a portion of a wheel, at least one vehicle-side connecting member connected to a portion of a vehicle body, and an arm member extending between the wheel-side connecting member and the vehicle-side connecting member. A width of a center of the arm member is smaller than that of other portions of the arm member, the width being measured in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a thickness of the center of the arm member is greater than other portions of the arm member, the thickness being measured in a vertical direction of the vehicle.
