ABSTRACT:
A compressible fluid type suspension strut is interconnected between a vehicle frame and a steerable wheel spindle support providing spring and shock absorbing functions and serving as a steering bearing support assembly. An arrangement of spherical bearing members and bearing support plates are disposed around the piston rod of the suspension strut and interconnect the rod with a frame support member for transmitting bearing loads during normal operation of the strut and in the event of collapse of the strut whereby the spindle supported by the strut may be steered. The lower end of the suspension strut cylinder is connected to the spindle support body by a self aligning bearing assembly to alleviate bending loads on the strut cylinder. An outer bearing sleeve extends between the spindle body and a frame support member for carrying bending loads imposed on the strut assembly.
