Abstract:
A vehicular L-type suspension arm is provided in which a wheel support part is provided on one end part of an arm main body, and a first vehicle body side linking portion and a second vehicle body side linking portion are provided in an intermediate part and on the other end part thereof respectively, wherein an arm main body (A) includes an upper half body (AU) having an inverted U-shaped cross-section and a lower half body (AL) that blocks the lower open end of the upper half body (AU), a first vehicle body side linking portion (AF1) is formed from front and rear support plates (SF, SR) each formed by press forming a plate material, these front and rear support plates (SF, SR) have base parts (SFa, Sra) that are integrally joined to each other, the base ends thereof being welded to an outside part of the arm main body (A), extremity parts (SFb, SRb) of the front and rear support plates (SF, SR) are arranged so as to be spaced from each other in the vehicle body fore-and-aft direction, and cylindrical bush support parts (P1) are integrally formed with the extremity parts (SFb, SRb) by burring on the same axis. Thus, the first vehicle body side linking portion can be prepared at light weight and low cost while ensuring a sufficient cross-section with a joined two-piece structure.
