ABSTRACT:
An axle bracket for mounting a vehicle suspension system to an axle for ground-engaging wheels. The axle bracket incorporates a wrapper plate complementary to the surface of the axle. The sides of the wrapper plate extend to approximately the midpoint of the axle and is welded thereto. The wrapper plate may incorporate one or more fingers on the ends thereof. In addition to fingers, one or more notches may be incorporated on the end of the wrapper plate. The wrapper plate is welded to the axle such that the weld is tapered toward the end of the finger and may wrap around the end of the finger. The finger and notch configuration and tapered weld create an axle bracket able to withstand the torsional and shear forces as well as driving or breaking torque incidental to the operation of the vehicle.
