Vehicle suspension apparatus

A vehicle suspension apparatus comprising:

• a wheel carrying member adapted to rotatably carry a wheel;
• a pair of right and left wheel suspension members each including a lateral link having one end mounted to the wheel carrying member;
• a subframe installed to couple the right and left wheel suspension members together;
• and a stabilizer, wherein
• the subframe includes:
• a cross member installed to extend in a vehicle widthwise direction and provided with a lateral-link support portion supporting the other end of the lateral link;
• a pair of right and left side members each extending from a respective one of opposite vehicle-widthwise outer ends of the cross member, in a vehicle longitudinal direction;
• a pair of right and left reinforcing members each reinforcing a coupling section between the lateral-link support portion of the cross member or a vicinity thereof, and a respective one of the side members, and
• the stabilizer is installed at a position vertically higher than that of the cross member, the stabilizer having a stabilizer body provided to extend in the vehicle widthwise direction, and a pair of right and left extension portions each extending from a respective one of opposite right and left ends of the stabilizer body, in the vehicle longitudinal direction,
• and wherein:
• each of the reinforcing members is provided with a stabilizer support section rollably supporting a corresponding one of the right and left ends of the stabilizer body;
• each of the extension portions has a distal end coupled to a corresponding one of the right and left wheel suspension members through a coupling link;
• and
• the distal end of each of the extension portions of the stabilizer is locked to a corresponding one of the wheel suspension members through the coupling link, at a vehicle-widthwise inner position with respect to the lateral-link support portion.
