ABSTRACT:
A semi-independent suspension system for a wheeled vehicle is of a Short Super Long Arm (SSLA) configuration. The suspension system includes a beam having a first end and a second end. A first wheel carrier is coupled to the first end of the beam. A second wheel carrier is coupled to the second end of the beam. A first bifurcated upper control arm (A-arm) is pivotally coupled between the frame and the first wheel carrier. A second bifurcated upper control arm is pivotally coupled between the frame and the second wheel carrier. First and second springs, each coupled between an end of the beam and the frame, support the frame of the vehicle on the beam. The center of the springs are connected to the beam by a mounting bracket, which has a central opening for receiving a half shaft for driving a wheel associated with the wheel carrier.
