ABSTRACT:
A "soft" knuckle for a vehicular suspension system provides additional compliance in the fore/aft, and vertical directions while maintaining desirable high stiffness in the lateral, steer and camber directions. The present spindle and knuckle assembly permit the kinematics and stiffness o a suspension system to maximize handling without compromising impact isolation. Thus, the present invention decouples handling and impact isolation requirements of a suspension system. The present invention can be adapted for both driven and undriven wheels, and thus can be used at any location in either a front or rear wheel drive vehicle.
