OPERATION

The wheel center lateral trajectory is set to lean toward rear as shown in the figure below, providing arrangement that reduces inputs from road surface such as vibration and noise by diverting them rearward when the suspensions make strokes.

The shock absorbers are arranged in the same direction as the wheel center lateral trajectory to prevent the top mounts from twisting during strokes, receiving inputs from road surface directly into shock absorbers' axial direction.

In this design even small inputs are absorbed well, providing both drivability and ride quality at a high level.
