Rear suspension of car

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To widen the variable range of the spring force, by making the spring force variable, as well as energizing a front arm by said spring force varying a lateral force load of the first rubber bush, and making toe-in control. CONSTITUTION:A rear wheel suspension 21 is constructed of a wheel support 23 which supports a rear wheel 22R as it can rotate freely, and front/rear two arms 24, 25, each of which extends along the lateral direction of the car body, one end and the other end thereof are rotatably connected to the wheel support 23 and a subframe 20, respectively. To a cylinder body 24a which is combined with the front arm 24 and keeps the first rubber bush 27 surroundingly, a spring mechanism 30 is attached. This spring mechanism 30 is constructed of the first spring supporting body 31, the second spring supporting body 34 which can slide freely on the supporting body 31 along the lateral direction, and right/left springs 32, 33. Then, the front wheel steering angle is detected by a front wheel steering angle sensor 51, and when the steering angle is small, the supporting body 34 is moved by operating a stepping motor 41.
