Abstract
A strut type independent suspension system for automobiles has a unitary suspension arm which is pivotably supported by a vehicle body at front and rear support points on the vehicle body end and which pivotably supports a housing of an axle bearing at front and rear support points on the axle bearing housing end. The respective rear support points are disposed on a straight line at right angles to a wheel center line as viewed on a horizontal projection. The front and rear support points on the vehicle body end are disposed on a straight line intersecting at a given angle a vehicle body center line as viewed on said horizontal projection, and the front and rear support points on the axle bearing housing end are disposed on a straight line substantially parallel to the straight line on which the vehicle body end support points are disposed.
