Abstract
A trailing link type beam suspension comprising a pair of left and right trailing arms, an axle beam fixed to one of the trailing arms and pivotably connected to the other and a pair of dampers provided between the axle beam and chassis. The axle beam is disposed in a position displaced from the axis of rotation of wheels in the back or forth direction of the chassis, and the dampers are disposed so that their axes pass in the vicinity of the axis of rotation of the wheel. A pair of coil springs are disposed coaxially with the dampers, respectively, between the chassis and axle beam. A panhard rod whose axis is positioned in the vicinity of the axis of rotation of the wheels is connected, between the chassis and axle beam, so as to carry a lateral load of the chassis.
