ABSTRACT:
A buckling angle control arrangement for the articulated front and trailing members of a vehicle, including an element, such as a disk or ring, pivotable about the first axis of the articulation between the vehicle members. A pushrod pivotally interconnects the pivotable element with the steering mechanism of the vehicle in such a way that the steering mechanism and pivotable element rotate in opposite directions. Two hydraulic cylinder and piston assemblies are arranged on opposite sides of the articulation axis, each assembly being between the two vehicle members. A three-position valve, for controlling hydraulic fluid flow between the two cylinder and piston assemblies, is itself controlled by an actuating member which cooperates with two cams carried by the pivotable element.
