Abstract:
A front wheel suspension system for a vehicle, comprising:a wheel carrier for supporting a wheel; an upper control arm mounted to an upper portion of the wheel carrier; a lower control arm mounted to a lower portion of the wheel carrier; a strut assembly mounted on the lower control arm to absorb up-and-down impacts transmitted from the wheel, the strut assembly is inclined from vertical in a direction and applies a damping force to the lower control arm when the vehicle wheel bumps; a connecting rod mounted on the lower control arm; and a stabilizer bar coupled to the connecting rod, the connecting rod being inclined from vertical in a direction opposite to that in which the strut assembly is inclined, the stabilizer bar functioning as an anti-roll device for the vehicle, wherein the connecting rod generates a reacting force against the lower control arm in response to the damping force compensating for the damping force and preventing an oversteer phenomenon caused by the damping force.
