Abstract
A front suspension apparatus includes a plurality of links suspending an axle member. First and second lower link members are arranged to dispose the second lower link member at a more rearward position than the first lower link member, to cause an imaginary line connecting both attaching points of the second lower link member to have a smaller angle than that of an imaginary line connecting both attaching points of the first lower link member relative to a line extending right in the vehicle-width direction as viewed from above of the vehicle, to cause the imaginary line of the second lower link member to overlap with a shaft portion of the axle member as viewed from the above, to locate the axle-member-side attaching point of the second lower link member at a more downward position than the axle-member-side attaching point of the first lower link member, and to locate the axle-member-side attaching point of the first lower link member more inwardly in the vehicle-width direction than the axle-member-side attaching point of the second lower link member.
