Abstract:
1. A vehicular suspension comprising: a trailing arm pivotably supported at its front end on a vehicle body via an elastic joint and extending from the front end toward the rear of the vehicle body; and a substantially plate-like flexible arm extending in the vehicle width direction with its inner end pivotably supported on the vehicle body and its outer end fixed to a rear part of the trailing arm, the outer end of the flexible arm flexing rearward due to a rearward braking load acting on a rear part of the trailing arm when a wheel is braked, thereby allowing the elastic joint to move rearward and inward so as to make the wheel toe-in; wherein a flat first seating surface provided at the rear end of the trailing arm is superimposed on a flat second seating surface provided at the outer end of the flexible arm, and an inner periphery of a closed opening formed on the second seating surface or an inner periphery of a channel with one end open formed on the second seating surface is welded to the first seating surface.
