ABSTRACT:
An automatic load-leveling pump is adapted for use with an air adjustable shock absorber to maintain a substantially constant vehicle height despite changes in vehicle loading. The pump includes a housing connected to the vehicle axle and a pump piston connected to the vehicle frame. A feedback device slides within the housing in response to air pressure and includes a cylinder, which, together with the pump piston, encloses a compression chamber. The feedback device moves in response to air pressure to control the compression ratio of the compression chamber.
