Abstract
A wheel suspension system for automobiles includes a control arm having a pair of front and rear inner ends and an outer end connected to a knuckle rotatably supporting a wheel. The inner ends are pivotally mounted to a vehicle body. At least one of the inner ends of the control arm is formed into bifurcated arms arranged longitudinally of the vehicle body. One of the bifurcated arms is rectilinearly integrally connected with the other inner end through a connection. A bolt for supporting the bifurcated arms at opposite ends is carried at a middle portion thereof on the vehicle body through a rubber bush. This allows the inner ends of the control arms and a section therebetween to be enhanced in rigidity, thereby enabling reductions in wall thickness and weight of the control arms.
