For example, in the case of a trailing arm type rear suspension as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-45108, boss portions are provided at the front ends of the left and right arm portions, and each boss portion is provided on the vehicle body side. The suspension arm is connected to the vehicle body by being fitted and supported on the support shaft via a cylindrical rubber bush or the like. On the other hand, a spindle bracket for supporting the wheel is joined to the rear end of the arm portion by welding. Further, the left and right arm portions are connected to each other via a beam portion that extends in the vehicle width direction between them.

In the trailing arm type rear suspension, the rigidity in the vehicle width direction is enhanced by providing the beam in a straddle shape on the left and right arm portions.
Moreover, since the beam has torsional elasticity, it functions as a stabilizer, and the running stability can be improved.

By the way, the above-mentioned stabilizer effect occurs when the above-mentioned beam portion hung over the left and right arm portions functions as a so-called torsion spring and is elastically twisted and deformed by the vertical movement of the left and right arm portions. Torsional resilience is exerted by adjusting the vertical movement of the left and right arms.
