が普通であつた。 Conventionally, the structure of the front wheel of a FF vehicle includes a bearing that rotatably supports the wheel shaft that drives the wheel.
The skeleton part is a nut that is integrated with this bearing part and becomes a connecting member of the shock absorber between the vehicle body and a connecting member of the steering arm.
There is a disk (or drum) on the wheel axle that serves as the wheel attachment member and also constitutes a part of the brake device.
It is constructed by assembling a hub that serves as a support for the. The nuticle, which forms the framework, has a complex structure as mentioned above, and because it needs to have sufficient strength, it has traditionally been made of cast or forged products. It was common to have them firmly fastened to the

The aim was to make the work easier and to reduce the weight.By using a sheet metal material that is advantageous in terms of weight reduction, the weight of the Natsukuru itself was reduced, and the support for the brake device was made using this Natsukuru sheet metal material. By using this, it is possible to create an integrated structure and reduce the number of conventional support fastening members.

る。 In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a nutacle made of sheet metal, which is formed by a combination of two sheet metal materials, an inner plate 2 and an outer plate 3, and a cylindrical body 4 forming a bearing. Said inner plate 2
is integrated with the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 4 by welding and fixing at the inner edge of the central opening 2b of the main body part 2a, and two curved extension parts are formed from this main body part 2a to face each other in the radial direction. One of them is a connecting arm 2c of the shock absorber that supports the lower end of the shock absorber interposed between the vehicle body, and the half-cylindrical portion formed at the tip thereof is bolted together with the half-cylindrical portion of the knuckle arm 5. As a result, the lower end of the strut 6 of the shock absorber is fastened and supported. 7 is a fastening bolt, and 5a is a connecting hole for a steering arm (not shown) formed in the knuckle arm 5. The other bent extension is a connecting arm 2d of a lower arm (not shown), and a ball joint (not shown) is assembled into a tapered hole 2e formed corresponding to the outer plate 3 described below. It is pivotally supported by the lower arm via the lower arm.

Two bent extensions are formed. One of them is a connecting arm 3d of a lower arm having substantially the same shape as the inner plate 2, and has a tapered hole 3e formed therein. The other bent extension part is a support part 3f, 3 for supporting a brake device.
In this example, the support parts 3f, 3f are formed in a bifurcated shape and extend to the vicinity of the edge of the disk 8, and the through holes 3g, 3g formed at the tip thereof.
The disc brake caliper (not shown) is configured to support a disc brake caliper (not shown) via a sliding coupling device (not shown) assembled to the disc brake.
