Rear suspension construction
A hub carrier includes a front arm part extending toward an inner side of a vehicle on a front side of an axle of a rear wheel; and a rear arm part extending on a rear side of the axle of the rear wheel. The rear arm part is joined to a lateral beam on the rear side of the axle of the rear wheel. A vehicle rear end portion of a trailing arm, extending in a vehicle front-rear direction, is joined to the lateral beam. A vehicle front end portion of the trailing arm is joined to a vehicle body using a first bush. A front arm part is joined to a front arm attachment part disposed on the trailing arm using a second bush. First and second support shafts of the first and second bushes have respectively axial directions oriented differently from each other.
1. A rear suspension construction for supporting a rear wheel of a vehicle, comprising:
a hub carrier comprising a wheel support part rotatably supporting the rear wheel; a front arm part extending toward an inner side of the vehicle on a front side of the vehicle relative to an axle of the rear wheel; and a rear arm part extending on a rear side of the vehicle relative to the axle of the rear wheel;
a lateral beam extending in a vehicle width direction on the rear side of the vehicle relative to the axle and joined to the rear arm part;
a trailing arm extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle and comprising a vehicle rear end portion joined to at least one of the hub carrier and the lateral beam;
a first bush joining a vehicle front end portion of the trailing arm to a vehicle body;
a second bush joining the front arm part to a front arm attachment part disposed on the trailing arm; and
a third bush coupling the vehicle rear end portion of the trailing arm to the at least one of the hub carrier and the lateral beam,
wherein a first support shaft of the first bush and a second support shaft of the second bush have respectively axial directions oriented differently from each other,
wherein the second bush has a fixing hole for fixing the second support shaft fitted in a center of the second bush, and
wherein at least part of the fixing hole of the second bush is disposed on a phantom line connecting the first bush and the third bush.
2. The rear suspension construction according to claim 1 , further comprising:
wherein the first support shaft of the first bush, the second support shaft of the second bush, and a third support shaft of the third bush have respectively axial directions oriented differently from each other.
3. The rear suspension construction according to claim 2 ,
wherein the second support shaft extends substantially in a vehicle front-rear direction through the fixing hole of the second bush.
4. The rear suspension construction according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first bush has a fixing hole for fixing the first support shaft fitted in a center of the first bush,
wherein the first support shaft extends substantially in a vehicle width direction through the fixing hole of the first bush.
5. The rear suspension construction according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second bush is disposed substantially on a center, in a vehicle front-rear direction, of the trailing arm.
6. The rear suspension construction according to claim 1 ,
wherein the third bush has a fixing hole for fixing the third support shaft fitted in a center of the third bush,
wherein the third support shaft extends in a vehicle up-down direction through the fixing hole of the third bush.
