Abstract: A car such as automobile is provided with a suspension device and the suspension device is composed of a suspension frame to be mounted to a body of an automobile so as to extend in a bilateral width direction thereof, a pair of suspension arms mounted to both bilateral end portions of the suspension frame to be rotatable, a pair of strut suspensions extending upward in a mounted state from the suspension arms, respectively, a pair of strut support members each having an inverted bowl shape and having a lower portion fixed to the automobile body, the strut support members being provided with ceiling portions to which upper end portions of the strut suspensions are fixed, and a strut bar stretched between the strut support members so as to be operatively connected to the strut support members, the strut bar having both end portions in the width direction of the automobile body, which are fixed, through bar brackets, to the ceiling portions of the strut support members, respectively.

Abstract: A suspending apparatus for vehicles includes a suspension arm having a wheel-side supporting portion and two vehicle body side supporting portions to support a wheel so that the wheel can reciprocate vertically relative to the vehicle body. A first centerline connecting the two vehicle body side supporting portions extends obliquely relative to a second centerline defined by a wheel shaft which supports the wheel. The vehicle body side supporting portions are positioned such that the first centerline passes through a corner portion of a vehicle component, such as a fuel tank. A side surface of the suspension arm between the two vehicle body side supporting portions extends along the corner portion of the vehicle component, while being spaced therefrom. The suspension arm includes a base plate and a subplate, the base plate having a substantially C-shaped cross section.
