ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for a vehicle includes a steering knuckle for supporting a wheel which is used for steering and also for driving, an upper arm for connecting an upper portion of the steering knuckle to a frame of the vehicle, and a lower arm for connecting a lower portion of the steering knuckle to a frame of the vehicle. At least one of the arms includes two link members. Each of the link members is pivotally connected to the frame of the vehicle at one end thereof and to the steering knuckle at an opposite end thereof. The link members are so disposed as to set a transverse distance between a kingpin axis and a center of the wheel at a positive value such that the kingpin axis is located inside of the center of the wheel in relation to a transverse direction of the vehicle, and reduce the distance as the wheel is turned toward an outward direction wherein the wheel is located radially outwardly in relation to a turning circle.
