  • Patent number: 10086666
    Abstract: A coupling structure for vehicle chassis members couples a ball joint member and an axle housing used for a vehicle to each other. The structure includes a socket that has a substantially columnar external shape, is provided in the ball joint member, and has a socket bolt groove throughout a circumference in an outer circumferential surface of the socket. The structure also includes a collar that has a substantially cylindrical shape and is disposed so as to surround an outer circumferential surface of the socket. The axle housing has a coupling hole having a substantially columnar internal shape into which the socket is inserted. The ball joint member and the axle housing are coupled to each other by disposing the socket in the coupling hole while the socket is surrounded by the collar.

  • Patent number: 7353096
    Abstract: A yaw rate sensor failure diagnosing device judges whether the yaw rate sensor is failure or not. In particular, when the vehicle is in the steady turn state, the failure is judged by comparing a yaw rate value from the yaw rate sensor with a yaw rate value calculated on the basis of the value of the tire force acting on each wheel. Furthermore, the vehicle is in the non-steady turn state, the failure is judged by comparing a yaw moment value calculated from the yaw rate value from the yaw rate sensor with a yaw moment value calculated on the basis of the value of the tire force acting on each wheel.
