ABSTRACT:
An independently sprung front wheel assembly including a frame, a steering knuckle and associated wheel, a control arm pivotally connected at its inner ends via a shaft and surrounding clamp members to the frame and its outer end to the steering knuckle, a coil spring mounted between the control arm and the frame, and an elastomeric bushing mounted around the shaft within each clamp and having vertically oriented sides of reduced effective thickness for providing a low horizontal rate and high vertical rate for increased horizontal movement and minimal vertical movement of the wheel and control arm relative to the frame during road impact conditions to substantially isolate the frame from such impacts.
