ABSTRACT:
In a four-link parallel link vehicle suspension system, a generatrix or an imaginary king pin is defined as a line connecting an instantaneous center of rotation of the knuckle as defined by an upper pair of lateral links with another instantaneous center of the rotation as define by a lower pair of lateral links and the range of the intersection of the imaginary king pin with the tread contact surface is minimized for the purpose of reducing the change in the force required to maintain a certain steering angle of the wheel. Thereby, the handling of the vehicle is improved through the reduction in change in the force required to maintain a steering angle of the wheel while maintaining the freedom of parameter setting which is intrinsic to the four-link parallel link vehicle suspension system.
