A vehicle suspension system smoothly changes a vehicle posture with respect to a steering force and a steering angle by minimizing a kinematic roll at an initial turning stage, thereby allowing a driver to obtain the sensation of maneuvering the vehicle well. The suspension system includes a front suspension having geometry satisfying that a caster angle is +3° to +5°, a caster trail is +20 to +30 mm, an intersection point between a kingpin axis and ground is located on an inner side in a vehicle width direction of a center of a tire contact patch, and an anhedral angle of a lower arm is +2.8° to +7.2°. Arear suspension includes five links and has geometry satisfying that a virtual kingpin axis extends near the center of a tire contact patch of a rear wheel assembly and extends vertically at −2° to 0°.

A double-wishbone type of suspension device for a vehicle comprises a forked-shaped upper arm, a forked-shaped lower arm, and a connecting rod which connects a front-side arm portion of the upper arm and a rear-side arm portion of the lower arm, wherein the connecting rod comprises an upper rod which is rotatably connected to the upper arm, a lower rod which is rotatably connected to said lower arm, and a resilient bush which connects the upper rod and the lower rod in an expandable manner in an axial direction.

A fluid containment system comprises a frame, a tank, a rear suspension system, a front lifting assembly, a cooperative coupling mechanism adapted to couple the fluid containment system to a vehicle, and a rear lifting assembly. The front lifting assembly is adapted to lift the front of the tank. The rear lifting assembly is adapted to lift the rear of the tank. The fluid containment system comprises a working condition and a mobile condition. A lower portion of the frame rests on a surface when the mobile fluid containment system is in the working condition. The lower portion of the frame is elevated with respect to the surface when the mobile fluid containment system is in the mobile condition. The fluid containment system is adapted to be towed by the vehicle when the cooperative coupling mechanism is coupled to the vehicle and the fluid containment system is in the mobile condition.

The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle control arm, like a wishbone, having an integral main body configured in a materially integral manner. A first bearing receptacle is connected to the main body. The main body has a first end portion having a second bearing receptacle, and a second end portion having a third bearing receptacle. The main body comprises a central portion. Said central portion connects the first and the second end portion. The central portion is configured as a cavity profile. The second and the third bearing receptacle are configured integrally and in a materially integral manner from the main body.

In the front lower arm, a ball joint bracket to which a ball joint to be coupled to a knuckle is attached is welded to an outer end of a lower arm body in the left and right direction of the vehicle. A spindle member connected to a lower end of a shock absorber is provided on a front side of the ball joint bracket in the front and back direction of the vehicle so as to protrude forward. A welding part between the lower arm body and the ball joint bracket is inclined in plan view, toward an outside in the left and right direction from a front part to a rear part of the welded part in the front and back direction. An extension of a central axial line of the spindle member is arranged so as to intersect with the welded part.
