ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension mechanism including a strut assembly connected with a vehicle body at an upper end portion and with a wheel at a lower end portion, a damper axis along which a shaft of the strut assembly is displaced for a damping effect being extended oblique to a kingpin axis about which the wheel is steered so that the shaft means damper shaft is inclined when the wheel is steered to produce a pivotal movement of the kingpin axis around the damper axis. The improvement comprises conversion member provided at the upper end portion of the strut assembly for converting the inclination of the shaft produced during the steering action of the wheel to a displacement in a transverse direction of the vehicle at the upper end of the strut assembly so that a negative camber angle change is produced in the wheel located outer side of the steering action.
