Abstract
A suspension device has longitudinal force compliance steer properties to steer a rear wheel to toe-in or toe-out according to increase in longitudinal force applied to wheel treads of a rear wheel. The suspension device includes: a hub bearing housing; suspension links having both edges pivotally attached to a vehicle body and a hub bearing respectively, to support the hub bearing housing; a suspension spring generating reaction force corresponding to relative displacement amount in the longitudinal direction of the hub bearing housing as to the vehicle body; a damper generating damping force corresponding to relative speed in the longitudinal direction of the hub bearing housing as to the vehicle body; and a toe change generating unit generating toe change in a direction where toe change due to longitudinal force compliance properties is temporarily cancelled out or suppressed at an early stage of turning of the vehicle.
