Abstract

A suspension structure for an irregular ground traveling vehicle includes an upper arm and a lower arm, a drive shaft, a boot, and an outer guard. The upper and lower arms each have one end portion supported on a vehicle body frame. The drive shaft is disposed between the upper arm and the lower arm and transmits a drive force to a wheel. The boot covers an end portion of the drive shaft on a wheel side. The outer guard member covers a front side of the boot. A brake line, which extends from a caliper, is arranged within a width of the wheel and below the upper arm, and the outer guard member extends to an area in the vicinity of the upper arm.
