Patent ID: 6938908

Claim:
A multi-link rear suspension system in which a support member for a rear wheel of a vehicle is connected to a vehicle body through five links, at least ends of the links toward the vehicle body are provided with resilient bushes, respectively, and a lower end of a damping device constituted by a coil spring and a damper is pivoted to a portion of the support member for the rear wheel located toward the inside of the vehicle body, wherein the damping device is disposed with respect to a suppositive king pin axle for the rear wheel so that a vertical reaction force thereof produces a moment toward toe-in about the suppositive king pin axle, and the damping device is spaced apart from the rear wheel toward the inside of the vehicle body so that the vertical reaction force thereof produces a moment toward negative camber on the rear wheel, and wherein the moment toward negative camber produced by the vertical reaction force of the damping device is set to be always larger than any moment toward positive camber produced by a side force on the rear wheel during vehicle cornering until limit maneuvering conditions due to the side force for the rear wheel during cornering are reached.
