ABSTRACT:
A suspension for a wheeled vehicle includes a chassis, left and right hub carriers, and left and right support members for supporting the left and right hub carriers on the chassis in opposite positions relative to a reference axis through the chassis that is vertical when the chassis is level and for enabling the hub carriers to individually move up and down relative to a reference plane that is perpendicular to the reference axis. Left and right linkages are provided for cooperating with the left and right support members in order to control chamber as the left and right hub carriers move up and down relative to the reference plane. The suspension also includes differential camber control components for controlling the camber of the left and right hub carriers according to any difference in the positions of the left and right hub carriers relative to the reference plane in order to offset for chassis roll. The differential camber control components include a moveable linkage-connecting component that is mounted moveably on the chassis and connected to an inboard end of the left linkage and an inboard end of the right linkage. The differential camber control components also include left and right auxiliary linkages connecting the moveable linkage-connecting component to the left and right support members. That is done so that the moveable linkage-connecting component responds to any difference in the position of the left and right hub carriers relative to the reference plane by moving relative to the chassis toward the one of the left and right hub carriers that is lower relative to the reference plane, thereby to offset for chassis roll.
