ABSTRACT:
A solid axle is laterally positioned by a pan-hard rod. The fore, aft and vertical position of the axle is controlled by a combination of a windup link and a canted position link. The position link is attached to the body or frame of the vehicle at one of its ends and at its other end it is attached to the windup link. One end of the windup link is attached to the axle and the other is attached to the vehicle body or frame. The geometric relationship between the windup link and the position link determine the ride and roll motion of the axle and the wheel centers. Advantageously, the unique arrangement of the windup link and position link effect a roll steer characteristic that is independent of side view wheel path motion.
