VEHICLE DAMPER MOUNT UNIT
A vehicle damper mount unit includes a first vibration transmission channel through which a vibration inputted from a wheel through a suspension mechanism is transmitted to a vehicle body via a damper rod and a mount rubber mechanism including a mount rubber; and a second vibration transmission channel through which the vibration inputted from a wheel through the suspension mechanism is transmitted to the vehicle body via a damper spring. The first vibration transmission channel has a metallic elastic member configured to restrict an upper limit of a stroke of the damper rod caused by the vibration transmitted. The elastic member and the mount rubber are arranged in series on the first vibration transmission channel. The vehicle damper mount unit elastically connects to an upper end of the damper rod fixed to the vehicle body and elastically supports the damper spring arranged outside the damper constituting the suspension mechanism.

Suspension system
A suspension system includes: a trailing arm and a lower arm which are turnably connected to a chassis and are joined in such a way as to be displaceable relative to each other through a hinge mechanism; and a stabilizer. The suspension system includes a stabilizer link which connects the stabilizer to the trailing arm. A fitting point of the stabilizer link to the trailing arm is located on a front side in a vehicle front-back direction relative to a center axis of the hinge mechanism, and a fastening point of the stabilizer and the stabilizer link is located on a lower side in a vehicle up-down direction and on an inside in a vehicle width direction with reference to the fitting point.

Vehicle suspension system
A vehicle suspension system (3) includes an electromagnetic damper (7) provided with a sprung member (8) and an unsprung member (9) to apply a drive force and a damping force between the sprung member and the unsprung member, and a control unit (10) for controlling the electromagnetic damper. A target load for the electromagnetic damper is determined based on the unsprung member demand load that attenuates a vertical vibration of the unsprung member, and the sprung member demand load that restrains a vertical displacement of the sprung member. An absolute value of the sprung member demand load is reduced when a sprung member frequency is in an unsprung member resonance frequency range.
