The objective of the present invention is to improve the rigidity of a vehicle knuckle made from an aluminum alloy with respect to a force directed from the outside to the inside in the width direction of a vehicle. A vehicle knuckle (11) is provided with a bearing support portion (111), a knuckle upper portion (113) and a knuckle lower portion (112). With the vehicle knuckle (11) in a position fitted to a vehicle main body, the knuckle upper portion (113) has a shape in which, if the knuckle upper portion (113) is divided equally into five or more regions in a vertical direction, and the center of the bearing support portion (111) is fixed and a horizontal load F is applied to a knuckle upper end portion (115) from the outside toward the inside in the width direction of the vehicle, the minimum value of a value obtained by dividing the strain energy in each of the five or more regions other than a first region (11A) by the mass of the corresponding region is at least equal to 0.70 times the maximum value thereof.

A knuckle structure is provided with: a knuckle for rotatably supporting a drive shaft connected to the output shaft of a motor; and a grounding member having a grounding harness, the grounding member electrically connecting the knuckle and a vehicle body. The grounding member is connected to a grounding connection section provided on the protrusion of the knuckle and facing rearward of the vehicle. The grounding connection section is provided between a brake caliper extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and the knuckle.

An air disc brake system for a heavy-duty vehicle comprising an axle. A spindle is attached to an end portion of the axle. At least a portion of an air disc brake assembly is supported by the spindle. A suspension beam has an axle support portion connectable with the axle. An end portion of the suspension beam is spaced from the axle support portion for attachment with the heavy-duty vehicle. The suspension beam may pivot about the end portion of the suspension beam. An actuator actuates the air disc brake assembly. The actuator has a movable member to actuate the air disc brake assembly. Structure is associated with the suspension beam for supporting at least a portion of the actuator. A surface defines an opening in the suspension beam through which the movable member may extend or that may receive and support a portion of the actuator.

This invention relates to the lubrication of a wheel support 10. The wheel support 10 comprises support 10 comprises a housing 12 that includes a base portion 14 defining a cavity 16 for receiving therein at least one gear 40, and lubricant for lubricating the gear 40. Opposing first and second arm members 18.1, 18.2 extend respectively from the base portion 14. A free end of each arm member 18.1, 18.2 includes a bearing receiving formation 20.1, 20.2 for receiving therein a bearing. The wheel support 10 further comprises internal lubricant feed means 22, defined in the housing 12, and that extends internally from the base portion 14 into at least one of the arm members 18.1 or 18.2 for feeding lubricant operatively received from a lubricant supply, internally, via the base portion 14, to the bearing receiving formation 20.1 or 20.2 associated with the at least one arm member 18.1 or 18.2.

An automobile having sets of front and rear wheels, of which one or both sets are steerable wheels and one or both sets are driven wheels. Each steerable wheel is rotatably supported on a respective steering knuckle that is swivelable about an upright steering axis, and is coupled to the frame by a suspension system for relative movement upwardly and downwardly of the automobile's frame. The steering knuckle of each steerable wheel is movable through a ninety degree range between a straight-ahead position for longitudinally straight travel of the automobile in a normal road travel mode, and a ninety-degree position for lateral travel of the automobile in another mode.

A front suspension lift kit for a golf cart includes first and second beams mountable to a frame of the golf cart. A first strut is mountable to the frame of the golf cart and a distal end portion of the first beam such that the first strut extends between the frame of the golf cart and the first beam. A second strut is mountable to the frame of the golf cart and a distal portion of the second beam such that the second strut extends between the frame of the golf cart and the second beam. A support bracket is mountable to the first and second beams at the distal end portions of the first and second beams. The lift kit also includes a swing arm, a spindle bracket, and a coil-over shock.

There is provided a stabilizer for a vehicle, including a torsion bar fixed to a car body and configured to be rotated about a longitudinal axis of rotation without changing a position, two arm links connected to both ends of the torsion bar, and two drive links connected to each of the two arm links through a ball joint so as to be able to be rotated three-dimensionally, in which the two drive links are configured to, during cornering of the vehicle, adjust a degree of torsion of the torsion bar by rotating about an axis of rotation of a strut assembly or a steering knuckle connected to the two drive links.

A suspension joining structure may include a lower arm which has one end portion fastened to a vehicle body, an assist knuckle on which a strut portion is located, a fastening unit which is configured so that a second end portion of the lower arm and a lower end portion of the assist knuckle are fastened, a revoknuckle which is pivotally fastened to the assist knuckle to be rotated independently of the assist knuckle to perform the steering of a wheel, and a steering input portion fastened to the revoknuckle and configured to apply a steering force to the revoknuckle upon the steering of the wheel.

A suspension device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure which is equipped with an upper arm which is supported by a knuckle of the vehicle wheel so as to be capable of oscillation, and also supported by a side member which extends in the vehicle front-rear direction so as to be capable of oscillation, wherein: the upper arm has a tip end section positioned at the outside end in the vehicle widthwise direction, and also has arm sections which fork from the tip end section toward the inside in the vehicle widthwise direction; and the upper arm is formed in a manner such that the cross-sectional area of one arm section is greater than the cross-sectional area of the other arm section.
