a housing configured to rotatably support a rear wheel of the vehicle;
suspension links each having both ends swingably coupled to a vehicle body of the vehicle and the housing;
a spring disposed between the vehicle body and one of the suspension links or between the vehicle body and the housing; and
a stabilizer including:
a stabilizer bar configured to generate reaction force corresponding to a stroke difference between left and right housings each serving as the housing; and
