ABSTRACT:
Lower arms of a wheel suspension system are pivotably attached to brackets which are in turn attached to both the vehicle body and the subframe, whereby the subframe can provide a significantly high rigidity with respect to the lower arms of the wheel suspension system, and can effectively insulate the passenger compartment of the vehicle from the vibrations and noises which are otherwise transmitted from the wheel suspension system to the subframe. The rigidity of the brackets can be further enhanced when each of the brackets is provided with a closed cross section in a part thereof which extends between the bearing portion and the vehicle body. Additionally, if the brackets consist of upright leg sections of a lateral member extending across a pair of longitudinal members on either side of the subframe, the brackets can be made highly rigid not only to vertical loads but also to lateral loads. The lateral member and the brackets may be integrally formed substantially from a single metal sheet. Alternatively, the lateral member may extend between lower parts of the brackets or between the parts of the longitudinal members at which the lower ends of the brackets are attached.
