Abstract
A suspension system including two lateral arms whose lower arms are disposed at the front and rear of the center of wheels is provided. One end of the two lateral arms is mounted to a cross member while the other end is connected to a carrier assembly. The outer wheels of a turning vehicle automatically form a toe-in according to the movement of a turning vehicle, thus inducing an understeer and improving driving stability of the vehicle.
Claims4
A suspension system having an automatic toe control function, comprising:
- a cross member;
- a front arm pivotably connected to said cross member;
- a rear arm pivotably connected to said cross member;
- and
- a rear link arm installed with a member rotational shaft and an arm rotational shaft, said member rotational shaft being directly pivoted to said cross member, and said arm rotational shaft being directly pivoted to said rear arm and being parallel to said member rotational shaft.
A suspension system having an automatic toe control function, the system comprising:
- a cross member;
- a front arm pivotably connected to said cross member;
- a rear arm pivotably connected to said cross member;
- and
- a front link arm installed with a member rotational shaft and an arm rotational shaft, said member rotational shaft being directly pivoted to said cross member, and said arm rotational shaft being directly pivoted to said front arm and being parallel to said member rotational shaft, wherein said arm rotational shaft of said front link arm is disposed higher than said member rotational shaft.
