  • Patent number: 6488299
    Abstract: A trailing arm mounting structure is provided, in which rear wheels follow a path approximating a straight line, which forms a predetermined acute angle with the road surface to the rear of the vehicle, during bump and rebound of the vehicle body such that shock in forward and rear directions transmitted from the road is reduced and space provided for the backseat and fuel tank is increased. In the trailing arm mounting structure, a first end of a trailing arm is connected to a rear wheel and a second end of the trailing arm is connected to a vehicle body with a concoid curve-forming assembly interposed therebetween.
