ABSTRACT:
An all-terrain vehicle has a chassis based on two longitudinal box section members and designed to permit a degree of torsional flexibility, with four beam axles equally spaced along the wheelbase. The drive transmission is arranged so that drive to the wheels on all four axles, or only the center two, can be selected, and the wheels on both the front and rear axles are steerable. The front axle wheels are positively steered whereas the rear axle wheels are arranged to castor to a smaller turning angle than the front wheels. All the wheels are fitted with extra large balloon tires. The axles are of the beam type, with coil suspension springs and swing axle radius rods permitting a considerable amount of vertical movement; limited lateral movement is permitted by Panhard rods.
