Stabilizer support structure

A stabilizer supporting structure comprising:

• a suspension member provided on a side of a vehicle body and extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body to straddle a front axle extending from a front differential gear;
• a first bracket separated from the suspension member and a second bracket integral with the suspension member, the first and second brackets being arranged one after another at a front part of the suspension member in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body to support cooperatively one end of a suspension arm;
• and
• a stabilizer supporting portion provided at the first bracket for rotatably supporting a stabilizer.

A supporting structure for supporting a torsional part of a stabilizer and a pair of pivotal ends of a vertically swingable suspension arm cooperative with the stabilizer for a resilient independent suspension of a wheel of a vehicle, the structure comprising:

• a rigid suspension member having:
• a first support part for supporting one of the pivotal ends of the suspension arm and
• a second support part spaced at a distance from the first support part in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle;
• a first bracket member fixed at an upper part thereof to the suspension member;
• and
• a second bracket member having:
• an upper part thereof fastened to the second support part, with a support hole defined therebetween for supporting the torsional part of the stabilizer, and
• a lower part thereof facing a lower part of the first bracket member to support the other pivotal end of the suspension arm disposed therebetween.

A suspension arrangement comprising:

• a suspension arm, said suspension arm having first and second pivotal end portions pivotally supported at a side of a vehicle body by way of first and second elastomeric bushes respectively;
• a stabilizer bar adapted for operative connection with the suspension arm;
• an arch-like suspension member adapted for operative connection with the first and second pivotal ends of said suspension arm;
• and
• bracket means, including first and second brackets, for supporting the first pivotal end of said suspension arm, the first and second brackets being arranged on either side of the first pivotal end, the first bracket being connected to a lower side of said arch-like suspension member and including a recess in which said stabilizer bar is rotatably supported and retained between the first bracket and arch-like suspension member.
