ABSTRACT:
A trailing arm suspension (10) has a trailing arm (12) comprising a central rib (32) to which opposing U-shaped side plates (52, 54) are welded. The central rib (32) and the opposing side plates (52, 54) have congruent semicircular recesses (34, 38) disposed at one end of the trailing arm to define a first seat (55) for receiving a mounting collar (36) to mount the one end of the trailing arm to a hanger bracket (16). The central rib (32) and opposing side plates (52, 54) have further congruent semicircular recesses (56, 58) that define a second seat (57) in which is mounted a cast member (40) for mounting an axle (24). A portion of the central rib extends above the opposed side plates and defines a shock absorber mount (42). The other end of the central rib (32) has a rectangular recess (46) for receiving an end shaft (48) to mount a transverse beam.
