ABSTRACT:
An anti-roll bar is attached directly to first and second control arms in a vehicle suspension. The anti-roll bar includes a central body portion that extends in a lateral direction, and first and second legs that extend from the central body portion in a longitudinal direction. The first and second legs are attached to inboard surfaces of the first and second control arms. The anti-roll bar is positioned such that the central body portion does not extend outwardly beyond longitudinal ends of the first and second control arms, and does not extend vertically below lower surfaces of the first and second control arms. This configuration allows the vehicle suspension to be packaged within a smaller space, and improves ground clearance.
