ABSTRACT:
A combined tramp rod and anti-roll bar is secured between a rear axle beam and the chassis of a vehicle. The tramp rod and anti-roll bar has an intermediate portion, a right arm and a left arm that are connected by bushings to either the rear axle beam or the frame of the vehicle. The combined tramp rod and anti-roll bar provides roll stiffness control and also resists wind-up of the rear axle when high torque loads are applied to the rear axle. D-bushings that resist sliding movement of the intermediate portion in combination with the splayed arms provide improved compliance understeer performance when lateral loads are applied to the rear suspension.
