Abstract

In a suspension arm (10) that includes a pair of holding portions (12f, 12g) between which a wheel support member (24) that supports a wheel is held, the pair of the holding portions (12f, 12g) is formed in such a manner that the rigidity of one of the holding portions (12f) in the holding direction in which the wheel support member is held is higher than the rigidity of the other holding portion (12g) in the holding direction.
