Abstract
A vehicular suspension system is provided in which the lower end of a coil spring () is positioned lower than a support part () where a suspension arm () is supported on a vehicle body, the lower end of the coil spring () is positioned on the laterally inner side of the vehicle body relative to the upper end of the coil spring (), and when a wheel (W) rebounds and the coil spring () is elongated, the lower end of the coil spring () can therefore move along its axis. As a result, the coil spring () can be prevented from bending at a time of rebound, the spring constant thus increases, and the lower end of the coil spring () is pressed strongly against a spring seat () and thus prevented from lifting, thereby preventing any degradation in the turning performance. This can prevent the lower end of the coil spring of the vehicular suspension system from lifting from the spring seat when the coil spring is elongated, thus preventing any degradation in the turning performance.
