  • Publication number: 20240123782
    Abstract: A suspension arm includes a main body. The main body includes a curved portion curved along a longitudinal direction and has a closed section. The main body includes an inner side wall, an outer side wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall. The inner side wall corresponds to an inner side of a curve of the curved portion. The outer side wall corresponds to an outer side of the curve of the curved portion. A thickness of the inner side wall is larger than a thickness of the outer side wall. In sectional view of the main body perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, each of a length of the first side wall and a length of the second side wall is longer than each of a length of the inner side wall and a length of the outer side wall.
