Claims2
A semi-trailing suspension device comprising:
- a trailing arm that is coupled to a vehicle body in a turnable manner;
- a trailing bush that is provided between the vehicle body and the trailing arm and which pivotally supports the trailing arm in a turnable manner;
- a lower arm that is coupled to the vehicle body in a turnable manner;
- a lower arm bush that is provided between the vehicle body and the lower arm and which pivotally supports the lower arm in a turnable manner;
- a hinge mechanism that couples the trailing arm and the lower arm to each other in a relatively displaceable manner,
- a damper that attenuates vibration transmitted from a wheel;
- and
- a spring,
- wherein a turning axis of the trailing bush is disposed to be inclined toward a vehicle body inner rear side as viewed from top, with respect to a suspension movable axis that connects a turning center point of the trailing arm with respect to the vehicle body to a turning center point of the lower arm, and
- wherein the damper and the spring are disposed separately from each other on the lower arm, and the damper is disposed closer to a vehicle width direction inner side of the lower arm than the spring.
