Abstract: A light-alloy vehicle suspension member integrally made from a light alloy, including a sectional shape formed by an upper wall, a front wall, and a rear wall so as to have an open bottom, the upper wall being substantially horizontal, the front wall and the rear wall being erected in a substantially vertical manner on a front edge and a rear edge of the upper wall respectively, wherein: one end of a torque rod is connected to a center portion, in a vehicle width direction, of the upper wall, another end of the torque rod is connected to an engine; a vertical position of the upper wall substantially corresponds to a vertical center position between the front wall and the rear wall, and substantially corresponds to a height position of the torque rod.

Abstract: A Macpherson strut type suspension including a vehicular disc brake, wherein a strut and a coil spring are disposed at offset positions from the axis of a spindle as viewed in the direction of movement of an automotive vehicle so that a space required for installing a disc brake actuator is provided in a region in the proximity of the uppermost end of the a disc rotor in which a disc brake actuator is installed. This allows the disc actuator to be installed at the highest position above the ground without any interference with the strut and the coil spring. Further, the coil spring can be disposed in the proximity of a wheel.
