Abstract
A suspension apparatus is disclosed for which vehicle handling stability can be obtained. An upper arm (), a damper unit (), and a stabilizer () are connected in this order to a knuckle () from outside of the vehicle body in a width direction of the vehicle body. The reaction force of the stabilizer is used as a moment in the camber direction, and causes interference in the camber direction. As a result, a camber change during a reverse phase stroke is increased over a camber change during a same-phase stroke, and turning performance of the vehicle is improved.
