Abstract
In a motor vehicle wherein a front body and a rear body are placed on a frame structure independently of each other; a relay rod of a steering link, which is connected at the opposite ends thereof by way of knuckles to two wheels, is positioned at the front of the axle line; and these wheels are independently suspended from the frame structure; a vibration absorbing means is provided between the relay rod and a side rail of the frame structure. This vibration absorbing means acts to absorb the relative lateral vibration of the steering link to the frame structure, thus reducing the steering shimmy, the steering kick-back and the lateral vibration of the vehicle body.
