The invention discloses an independent front suspension with a transversely arranged steel plate spring. The independent front suspension with the transversely arranged steel plate spring comprises a left front
shock absorber and a right front
shock absorber both provided with a limiting block, left and right steering knuckles, a steel plate spring, and a steady rod component, wherein left and right lower swing arms are respectively connected with the left and right steering knuckles through lower swing arm ball pins; the transversely arranged steel plate spring is composed of two transversely arranged upper and lower steel plate springs with variable cross-sections; the middle part of the steel plate spring is connected with a car body; the
central line of the steel plate spring is consistent with an X-direction of a wheel center of a wheel; two ends of the steel plate spring are connected with the left and right lower swing arms through a vulcanized rubber component; the shock absorbers are arranged vertically in a front view of a car, inclined backwards in a side view thereof and have an included
angle alpha of 2-4 degrees with the axial line. The independent front suspension, disclosed by the invention, has the advantages of compact arrangement, rational structure, relatively low manufacturing and
processing cost; the transversely arranged steel plate spring is mutually matched with a single-angle
shock absorber, so that the car can achieve relatively ideal comfort level in any load state, good
operational stability of a McPherson suspension is continued, and internal space of the car is further maximized; and obvious improvements in the aspects of overall performances, cost and the like are achieved.
