Abstract

In a torsion beam type rear suspension, a joint seat (12c) with a torsion beam (4) is formed on each lower spring seat (12) to define an upward slope from the outer side to the inner side in the widthwise direction of the vehicle body to suppress separation of the spring seats and cracking of the beam.
