ABSTRACT:
A lower arm and upper links of a double wishbone type suspension are arranged so that the resulting king pin axis about which a road wheel is pivotal, intersects the wheel rotational axis at or close to the wheel center so as to selectively minimize, neutralize or reverse the toe-out effect produced by a force which acts through the wheel center in the aft direction of the vehicle. The lateral rod which controls the orientation of the road wheel is arranged at a predetermined angle to control the amount of toe-in induced by the application of the above mentioned force and a force which acts laterally inboard along the wheel rotational axis.
