Abstract

A rectifying device is provided in a vehicle. The vehicle includes a wheel, a housing, and a lower arm. The wheel includes a tire and a rim. The housing is provided with a hub bearing that rotatably supports the wheel. The lower arm is swingably coupled to a vehicle-body lower portion and a lower portion of the housing and extends substantially along a vehicle width direction. The rectifying device includes an inward deflector. The inward deflector is provided at the lower arm and configured to deflect an airflow flowing in from a vehicle front side so that a speed component inward in the vehicle width direction of the airflow increases.
