Development of Torsion Beam Rear Suspension with Toe Control Links

Abstract

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Attaining optimum balance between longitudinal compliance and sideforce compliance steer in a torsion beam suspension system is a challenging task. We developed a suspension in which the longitudinal compliance is almost doubled and the side force compliance steer amount is improved by using the link effect of toe control links. This suspension system has been developed to realize excellent controllability, stability, riding comfort, and road noise performance.</div></div>
