ABSTRACT:
A fluid suspension system is provided for a motor vehicle wheel, the wheel being rotatably mounted on an axle. The fluid suspension system comprises a load arm, an air bellows, and a torque arm. The air bellows is mounted between the load arm and the chassis of the motor vehicle. One end of the load arm supports the axle, the other end of the load arm being attached to the chassis by a first pivot bearing. One end of the torque arm is attached to an axle seat by a second pivot bearing, the other end of the torque arm being attached to the chassis by a third pivot bearing. The torque arm and the load arm extend in the same direction away from the axle. A bearing block is slidably mounted on the torque arm, the bearing block being housed within a slider casing fixed to the chassis. The bearing block and the slider casing are such that the bearing block has substantially no freedom of movement in a direction parallel to the axle.
