ABSTRACT:
An axle mounting assembly includes a steerable axle mounted on an axle support and having a pair of opposing steerable wheels pivotally connected to the respective transverse ends of said steerable axle for pivotal movement relative thereto about respective wheel pivot axes. A substantially rigid connecting member extends between and is attached to the axle support and a steerable element of the steerable axle. The steerable axle is attached to the axle support by first, second and third flexible couplings. Each coupling provides for three planes of movement, the first flexible coupling attaching the axle to the axle support rearward of said axle, the second flexible coupling attaching the axle to a first end of a link forward of said axle and the third flexible coupling attaching a second end of said link to said axle support upwardly of said axle.
