Abstract
A suspension apparatus includes a carrier connected to a wheel, a torsion beam axle connected to a vehicle body to rotatably support the carrier, and a steering component connected to the carrier to rotate the carrier relative to the torsion beam axle.
Claims17
A suspension apparatus comprising:
- a carrier connected to a wheel;
- a torsion beam axle connected to a vehicle body, and configured to rotatably support the carrier;
- and
- a steering component connected to the carrier, and configured to rotate the carrier relative to the torsion beam axle.
- wherein the torsion beam axle comprises:
- a torsion bar spaced apart from the carrier, and disposed parallel to a width direction of the vehicle body;
- a first trailing arm extending form the torsion bar, and connected to the vehicle body;
- a second trailing arm extending from the torsion bar, and disposed to face the carrier and
- a steering joint disposed between the carrier and the second trailing arm,
- wherein the steering joint includes a ball joint

(canceled)
The suspension apparatus of claim 21, wherein the torsion bar is disposed behind the carrier.
(canceled)
The suspension apparatus of claim 21, wherein the steering component comprises:
- a steering actuator spaced apart from the carrier, and configured to generate a driving force;
- a tie rod disposed between the steering actuator and the carrier, and configured to receive the driving force from the steering actuator and to reciprocate;
