ABSTRACT:
An equalized suspension system for a vehicle includes a first trailing arm, a second trailing arm, first and second wheels, and a cushion. The first trailing arm has a lower end pivotally secured to the first wheel, and an upper end pivotally secured to the frame. The second trailing arm has a lower end pivotally secured to the second wheel, a free upper end, and an intermediate portion pivotally secured to the frame. The cushion extends between the lower end of the first trailing arm and the free, upper end of the second trailing arm and serves to transfer and equalize pressures between the first and second wheels. When the first wheel engages an obstacle and moves in a first direction, the cushion forces the second wheel, via the second trailing arm, in a second direction.
