ABSTRACT:
A suspension for a steerable driving wheel in a vehicle, in which a wheel supported by a wheel carrier rotatable around a steering axis is driven by a drive shaft and braked by a brake caliper, includes a hub and a brake disk. The hub has a supported portion rotatably supported by the wheel carrier through a bearing and is unrotatably connected to the drive shaft. The hub attaches the wheel to a portion located more laterally outward of a vehicle body than the supported portion. On the other hand, the brake disk for generating a braking force in cooperation with the brake caliper is provided on the hub and disposed more laterally inward of the vehicle body than said supported portion.
