ABSTRACT:
An independent wheel suspension system having a transverse support member attached between the side frame members of a vehicle frame, a semi-trailing arm having a wheel end coupled to the wheel assembly and a pair of spaced-apart support sections pivotably coupled to the transverse support member, a differential rotatably coupled to the transverse support member to allow relative movement therebetween about a transverse pivot axis, and a prop shaft coupling the differential and engine with only one universal joint, that joint being of the constant velocity plunging type, whereby the differential is allowed to pivot about the transverse pivot axis to accommodate articulation between the prop shaft and the engine.
