SUSPENSION
A suspension includes a housing, suspension links, a spring, and a stabilizer. The housing rotatably supports a rear wheel of a vehicle. The suspension links each have both ends swingably coupled to a vehicle body of the vehicle and the housing. The spring is disposed between the vehicle body and one of the suspension links or the housing. The stabilizer includes a stabilizer bar and a stabilizer link. A force application point where force generated by the spring is applied to the housing is disposed on a rear side of the vehicle with respect to a center of the rear wheel. The stabilizer link is coupled to the housing to allow a force application point where force generated by the stabilizer is applied to the housing to be disposed on the rear side of the vehicle with respect to the center of the rear wheel.
SUSPENSION
A suspension includes a housing, a radius arm, a radius arm bush, and a shock absorber. Inclination angles θ1 and θ2 satisfy ΔF.Math.tan θ2>M.Math.tan θ1, in which: θ1 is an inclination angle at which a straight line coupling the center of the radius arm bush to the center of a rear wheel is inclined to a horizontal line, to lower toward the rear wheel, viewed from a side of the vehicle in a steady state; θ2 is an inclination angle at which an axis of expansion and shrink of the shock absorber is inclined to a vertical direction, to allow the shock absorber's upper end to more forward from the shock absorber's lower end; M is an unsprung mass of the suspension; and ΔF is an amount of increase in a vertical load on the rear wheel from the steady state during a shrinkwise stroke of the shock absorber.
REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM
The present disclosure relates to a rear suspension system for a rear wheel of a vehicle and to a vehicle having such a rear suspension system.
Axle Support for a Vehicle
An axle support for a vehicle has a left longitudinal member for fastening a left wheel suspension, a right longitudinal member for fastening a right wheel suspension, and at least one cross member connecting the longitudinal members. The cross member is formed by two shells placed on top of each other. The two shells are detachably interconnected in a non-destructive manner. At least one component of an axle steering system is installed in the hollow space between the two shells.
MULTI-LINK INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION FOR VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE
The disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly provides a multi-link independent suspension for a vehicle that includes a subframe and a steering knuckle. In order to solve the problem of reduced adjustment efficiency caused by mutual restraining of linkages of an existing multi-link independent suspension when a camber angle is adjusted, the multi-link independent suspension includes a spring control arm that is configured to adjust a camber angle of a wheel center. The multi-link independent suspension also includes a front upper control arm and a rear upper control arm. A central axis of the front upper control arm intersects with a central axis of the rear upper control arm at a Q point, and the Q point has the same coordinate as the wheel center in an X direction; and a motion centerline between the front upper control arm and the rear upper control arm coincides with a projection of a central axis of the spring control arm on an XY plane, so that a movement of the spring control arm has no effect on an upper control arm system when the camber angle is being adjusted. The steering knuckle only rotates about an X axis so as to drive a tire to rotate about the X axis, so that a camber angle of the tire can be adjusted without changing a toe-in angle, thereby reducing the number of affected linkages and simplifying the adjustment in the camber angle of the tire.
Compact control arm and suspension cylinder pivot
A work vehicle includes a chassis, a prime mover configured to move the chassis along a ground surface, and a suspension assembly that couples a wheel to the chassis. The suspension assembly includes a knuckle coupled to the wheel, a first suspension arm, and a suspension cylinder. The first suspension arm includes a first portion rotatably coupled to the chassis and a second portion extending away from the first portion and coupled to the knuckle. The suspension cylinder is rotatably coupled to the chassis and to a second suspension arm. The first suspension arm and the suspension cylinder are each configured to pivot relative to the chassis about a common pivot axis.
SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, WHEEL SPINDLE ASSEMBLIES, AND METHODS OF RETROFITTING WHEEL SPINDLES
A method of mounting to an A-arm suspension system a wheel spindle configured for use with a multi-link suspension system may involve the steps of: Removing at least one suspension link mount on the wheel spindle; mounting a ball joint bracket to the wheel spindle, the ball joint bracket being configured to mount to the A-arm suspension system, the removing and mounting steps producing a modified wheel spindle; and mounting the modified wheel spindle to the A-arm suspension system.
Suspension device for in-wheel motor driven wheel
A suspension device for an in-wheel motor driven wheel is provided. An upper suspension arm is pivotally supported on the vehicle body for supporting the wheel in a vehicle upper position higher than an axle. A link member pivotally connects the wheel to the upper suspension arm and has an absorber connecting portion connected to a lower end of the shock absorber. The shock absorber connecting portion is disposed in the vehicle bottom position lower than an upper end portion of the in-wheel motor unit. The shock absorber is disposed between the vehicle body and the in-wheel motor unit and inclined so as to be closer to the vehicle body toward the lower end.
Motor Vehicle Wheel Suspension
A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle including a wheel carrier supporting a wheel. The wheel carrier connected via at least one upper camber link, a lower control arm, and a lateral toe link to the vehicle body or subframe. A stabilizer rod connects to the wheel carrier. The wheel suspension including a damper unit and a spring unit wherein the stabilizer rod and the damper unit connect to the wheel carrier at a common connecting point.
Sub frame structure of vehicle
A sub frame structure of a vehicle comprising a pair of side members with front ends rigidly connected to a floor frame, a rear cross member holding the vicinity of rear ends of the side members, both-side end portions of which are rigidly connected to a rear side frame, the both-side end portions of the rear cross member being positioned on an outward side, in a vehicle width direction, of the side members, a front cross member interconnecting the side members in the vehicle width direction and being positioned in front of the rear cross member, being spaced apart from the rear cross member, and a pair of upper members respectively connecting an upper portion of the rear cross member and an upper portion of the front cross member in a vehicle longitudinal direction at a position above the side member.
