Abstract
A vehicle suspension arm (10) coupled at one end thereof to a vehicle body (14) and at the other end thereof to a wheel support member (18) has a pair of arm members (20, 22) that are spaced apart from each other. The pair of the arm members (20, 22) define a centerline (24) of the suspension arm (10) therebetween with the cooperation with each other. The respective arm members (20, 22) have cross-sectional shapes opening to the other side of the centerline (24) side. Thus, shear centers of the respective arm members (20, 22) are located on the centerline (24) side with respect to the arm members (20, 22) respectively.
