ABSTRACT:
A method and system for effecting pneumatically cushioned independent front steer axle suspension for s Class 8 (33,001 lb+GVW) highway truck. An air spring rocker is provided to improve the fit arrangement of the front suspension components. By its pivoting action, the air spring rocker serves to take the vertically-directed suspension load and redirect this load to compress a suspension air spring in a horizontal direction, against a chassis frame rail side member. The left hand side road wheel is enabled to articulate independently of the articulation movement of the right hand side road wheel, and vice versa.
