Abstract:
1. A suspension device with longitudinal force compliance steer properties to steer a rear wheel of a vehicle to either of the toe-in and toe-out sides according to increase in longitudinal force applied to wheel treads of the rear wheel, the suspension device comprising: a hub bearing housing that turnably supports the rear wheel of a vehicle on the circumference of the axle; a suspension link of which both edges are pivotally attached to a vehicle body and a hub bearing respectively, the suspension link being configured to support the hub bearing housing so as to enable stroking as to the vehicle body; a suspension spring that generates reaction force corresponding to relative displacement amount in the longitudinal direction of the hub bearing housing as to the vehicle body; a damper that generates damping force corresponding to relative speed in the longitudinal direction of the hub bearing housing as to the vehicle body; and a toe change generating unit that generates toe change in a direction where toe change due to the longitudinal force compliance steer properties is temporarily cancelled out or suppressed at an early stage of turning of the vehicle.
