ABSTRACT:
A fully triangulated automobile wheel suspension arm assembly which provides a rigid connection between an automotive wheel-bearing hub and two pivot points connecting the suspension assembly to the superstructure of the vehicle. The suspension system includes a lateral tube affixed to a vehicle body. The tube has a free end to which there is journaled one end of a trailing arm. A torsion bar has one end affixed to the lateral tube and a free end affixed to the trailing arm so that pivotal movement of the trailing arm about the lateral tube is resisted by the torsion bar. The other end of the trailing arm is affixed to a wheel-bearing hub, and a wheel is received in journaled relationship respective to the hub. A strut connects the hub to a bracket located on the lateral tube at a location which is spaced inboard of the trailing arm journal. This provides a rigid connection between the wheel-bearing hub and the two pivot points, so that the hub is restrained to move in a substantially vertical plane.
