Suspension device for vehicle

A suspension device for a vehicle equipped with an electric motor for transmitting a drive force to at least one of a front wheel or a rear wheel via an output transmission shaft, the suspension device comprising:

• a front suspension arm capable of swinging in a vehicle up-down direction with reference to a front wheel swinging axis in a vehicle body-side mounting portion in a front portion of the vehicle;
• a front damper having a longitudinal axis which extends in a direction perpendicular to the front wheel swinging axis in a side view;
• a rear suspension arm capable of swinging in the vehicle up-down direction with reference to a rear wheel swinging axis in a vehicle body-side mounting portion in a rear portion of the vehicle;
• and
• a rear damper having a longitudinal axis which extends in a direction perpendicular to the rear wheel swinging axis in a side view, wherein
• the front wheel swinging axis and a first imaginary line perpendicular to a direction of extension of the longitudinal axis of the front damper extend in a direction parallel to each other and the rear wheel swinging axis and a second imaginary line perpendicular to a direction of extension of the longitudinal axis of the rear damper extend in a direction parallel to each other in a side view;
• the suspension device is a strut-type suspension device including front and rear wheel hub carriers to which wheel-side end portions of the front suspension arm and the rear suspension arm are respectively coupled and which respectively support the front wheel and the rear wheel, a lower portion of the front damper and a lower portion of the rear damper are respectively mounted to the hub carriers, and upper portions of the front damper and the rear damper are each mounted to the vehicle body;
• and
• the longitudinal axis of the front damper is aligned with a center of the front wheel in the side view and the longitudinal axis of the rear damper is aligned with a center of the rear wheel in the side view.
