In a wheel suspension system for automobiles including an upper and a lower control arm which are carried, at one side of their ends closer to a vehicle body, on the body by a support shaft, the support shaft includes an upper tubular shaft portion having the upper support arm provided on one side thereof so as to project therefrom, a lower tubular shaft portion located below the upper tubular shaft portion and having the lower support arm provided on the one side to project therefrom, and a connecting rod which integrally interconnects the upper and lower support arms. An elastic member is interposed between each of the tubular shaft portions and a core shaft centrally disposed in the tubular shaft portion and secured to the vehicle body. This makes it possible to provide a large torsional rigidity to the support shaft and provide a reduction in weight of the support shaft. Accordingly, it is possible to enhance the rigidity of the wheel suspension system to insure the straight advancing property of the wheel during braking. In addition, the above construction also contributes to a reduction in weight of the system.
A wheel suspension system for automobiles, comprising a pair of upper and lower control arms, each having a tip end and a base end, said upper and lower control arms being linked at their tip ends to a knuckle for carrying a wheel and being pivotally connected at one side of their base ends to a vehicle body for vertical swinging movement and being connected at the other side of their base ends to a pair of upper and lower support arms projectingly provided on a support shaft which is supported on the vehicle body through elastic members to extend vertically thereof,
