なしているものが多い。 In general, a wheel support structure has a framework consisting of a wheel axle on which the wheel is mounted, and a knuckle that is integrated with the wheel axle and serves as a connecting member for a shock absorber such as a spring, or as a connecting member for a steering arm. A hub to which the wheel is bolted is rotatably attached to the wheel axle, and a disc rotor, etc., which is part of the brake device, is fixed to the hub.
Further, in many cases, a support for supporting a caliper or the like, which is the main body of the brake device, is fixed to the nutcle.

る。 That is, the feature of the vehicle driven wheel support structure according to the present invention is that, in the wheel support structure using a cylindrical strut of a shock absorber as a part of the suspension link of the vehicle driven wheel, the cylindrical lower end of the strut is cold bent. forming a lower end of the strut;
A small-diameter opening through which the end of the spindle on which the wheel is mounted engages, and a large-diameter opening that surrounds the spindle and circumferentially engages the sheet metal knuckle body to which the spindle is press-fitted; The spindle and the knuckle body are integrally fixed to the bent portion at the lower end of the strut by welding at the engaging portion of the opening edge.
