More particularly, a seat assembly for a vehicle including a seat having a forward portion and a rearward portion. The seat assembly includes a knee action suspension mechanism mounted under the seat and resiliently supporting the seat for resilient movement such that the rearward portion of the seat is vertically movable and the forward portion of the seat is generally pivotable about a longitudinal axis adjacent the forward portion of the seat. The seat assembly has an armrest assembly supported for movement with the seat, the armrest assembly has a forward end and a hand control is connected to the forward end of the armrest assembly. The suspension mechanism includes a generally horizontal plate, the plate forms a unitary rigid support structure for the seat and the armrest assembly such that the seat and the armrest assembly move together. The armrest assembly is connected to and supported by the plate for movement with the seat. The armrest assembly is pivotally connected to the plate for pivotal movement with respect to the seat. The armrest assembly includes an armrest and a hand control carrier for supporting the armrest and the hand control for selective forward and rearward movement of the hand control and armrest with respect to the seat.
