A Bowden wire is positioned at two points, that is, at a wire guide bracket and at a through-hole in a back plate between which a notch of an end edge of a plate-shaped trailing arm is interposed. A predetermined preset load is applied to and curves the Bowden wire, wherein the curved Bowden wire is pressed against and fixed to a groove-shaped recess provided in the notch of the trailing arm.

Wire fixing structure

A vehicle suspension system connects a swing member to a vehicle body. The vehicle suspension system includes a bump stopper, which is provided on one of the swing member and the vehicle body and includes an axis, a substantially cylindrical tip end which abuts an abutment surface provided on the other one of the swing member and the vehicle body, and an apex formed at the tip end. Abutment is initiated, in a circumferential direction of the tip end, in a state wherein the abutment surface inclines relative to the axis of the bump stopper. The apex at the tip end of the bump stopper first abuts the abutment surface and is located at an intermediate portion of the bump stopper in a direction of a wall thickness (t) of the bump stopper. A plurality of projections may also be formed on the tip end of the bump stopper.
