ABSTRACT:
A vehicle rear suspension mechanism capable of producing a toe-in displacement under a side force and an upward bump force, and possibly under other forces to obtain a stabilized stearing property. The mechanism includes a suspension member connected with a vehicle body, a wheel hub supporting a rear wheel for rotation about a rotating axis, a connecting device for connecting the wheel hub with the suspension member. The connecting device includes a ball joint located rearwardly of and below the wheel rotating axis for connecting the wheel hub to the suspension member pivotably about the joint center, a first resilient bush located between the wheel hub and the suspension member in one of quadrants defined in a rectangular coordinate having an origin on the rotatable axis of the rear wheel other than the quadrant wherein the ball joint is located, a second resilient bush located between the wheel hub and the suspension member in one of the quadrants other than the quadrants wherein the ball joint and the first resilient bush are located. A suspension strut assembly is connected to the wheel hub rearwardly of the ball joint.
