Abstract
A suspension device including two lower links that link a wheel supporting member and a vehicle-body side member to each other. The links are disposed substantially in parallel in a vehicle width direction. At least one projecting portion extends from at least one of the two links towards the other link. At least one elastic linking portion links the projecting portion of one of the links to at least one of the other link and the projecting portion of the other link. The at least one elastic linking portion has a rigidity that increases when a vibration input frequency increases to a value in a predetermined frequency band.

A suspension device comprising:
- a wheel supporting member configured to rotatably supporting a wheel;
- two links respectively linking the wheel supporting member and a vehicle-body side member to each other and disposed substantially in parallel in a vehicle width direction;
- at least one projecting portion extending from at least one of the two links towards the other link;
- and
- at least one elastic linking portion linking the projecting portion of one of the links to the other link, the elastic linking portion configured to increase its rigidity with an increasing frequency of a vibration input over a target frequency band;
- and
- wherein the projecting portion links one of the links to the other link at two locations along a length of the other link using respective elastic linking portions.
