Abstract
A suspension support member is mounted on a vehicle body to support a coil spring and a shock absorber forming a suspension, and is formed of a cast article including a spring seat for the coil spring and a pivot support section for the shock absorber, which are disposed independently from each other. Thus, the suspension support member is provided which ensures that the supported positions of the coil spring and the shock absorber in the suspension can be determined simply with a good accuracy, and which has a high rigidity and moreover, enables the generation of noises to be inhibited remarkably.
Claims6
A suspension system for a vehicle body comprising:
- a coil spring;
- a shock absorber, the coil spring and the shock absorber forming a suspension, wherein said suspension support member is formed on a cast article and has a generally U-shaped cross-sectional configuration having a base wall and a pair of side walls;
- a spring seat, the spring seat sized to project centrally into and internally of said coil spring, wherein the spring seat includes an annular flange portion connected to an open edge of a cylindrical portion;
- and
- a pivot support section for said shock absorber, said spring seat and said pivot support section being disposed independently from each other and being formed into the base wall between the pair of side walls.
A suspension support member for a vehicle, mounted on a vehicle body (1) to support a coil spring (23) and a shock absorber (26) forming a suspension, wherein said suspension support member is formed of a cast article including a spring seat (9) for said coil spring, a pivot support section (10) for said shock absorber, and a plurality of connecting sections (34 and 35) provided to function as couplings for connecting a plurality of components (4 to 6) forming the vehicle body (1) to one another, said spring seat and said pivot support section being disposed independently from each other.
A suspension support member for a vehicle, mounted on a vehicle body (1) to support a coil spring (23) and a shock absorber (26) forming a suspension, wherein said suspension support member is formed of a cast article including a spring seat (9) for said coil spring, a pivot support section (10) for said shock absorber, a plurality of reinforcing ribs (41, 42, 51 to 53 and 56) so as to be able to oppose a suspension input applied to said spring seat (9) and said pivot support section (10), and a plurality of connecting sections (34 and 35) provided to function as couplings for connecting a plurality of components (4 to 6) forming the vehicle body (1) to one another, said spring seat and said pivot support section being disposed independently from each other.
