(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) If the connection point between the lower swing arm and the knuckle is placed at the rear and lower part of the front axle as in the past, the steering axis of the front wheel is tilted backwards, so the steering axis of the front wheel is tilted backwards. The lower swing arm is disposed where the front wheel has a large substantial radius around the rudder shaft, that is, on the side of the front wheel.

Therefore, the larger the steering angle of the front wheels is, the larger the amount of protrusion of the lower swing arm in the vehicle weight direction becomes. For this reason,
It is conceivable that the overall length and weight of the swing arm will increase, leading to an unnecessary increase in unsprung load.

(Function) The lower swing arm (15) can be disposed on the side of the front wheel (21) where the radius of the front wheel (21) around the steering axis (K) is substantially small. , the amount of protrusion of the swing arm (15) in the direction of the vehicle can be reduced. Therefore, the overall length of the swing arm (15) can be shortened.
