ABSTRACT:
An interconnected suspension system for a motor vehicle according to the present disclosure includes a one-piece torsion bar which functions as the left and right front wheel positioning members, the left and right front suspension springs and the front roll stabilizer bar. The rear suspension has wheels rotatably supported at the outer ends of an axle which is positioned by a longitudinally extending upper arm and left and right laterally extending suspension arms. A rear torsion bar has a transverse portion supported on the vehicle body and end portions connected to the laterally extending rear suspension arms. The rear bar functions as a main suspension spring for the rear wheels, as a positioning member for the lateral arms and as an anti-roll stabilizer bar. Left and right generally longitudinally extending torsion bars interconnect left and right portions of the front torsion bar with the left and right rear suspension arms, respectively. The longitudinally extending bars support a portion of the vehicle load and interconnect the rear and front suspensions for the purpose of balancing the suspension loads between the front and rear wheels.
