Abstract
A lower arm mounting structure of a vehicle suspension includes a first mount mounted to a wheel of a vehicle, a second mount mounted to a sub frame side member at one side of the sub frame side member, and a third mount mounted to the sub frame side member at the other side of the sub frame side member. The third mount is fastened to the sub frame side member at two points spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction of the sub frame side member by bolts. The lower arm mounting structure prevents the mounts from being displaced during the cornering of the vehicle. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce or eliminate the phenomenon that the front part of the vehicle is inclined, and to achieve an enhancement in vehicle handling performance.
