ABSTRACT:
The motor vehicle comprises a body, a pair of headlamps which are mounted on a common cross rod angularly movable relative to the body, and a headlamp tilting mechanism. The mechanism comprises a tensioned cable secured at one end to an axle housing of the motor vehicle and at its opposite end to a spring arm. An outer sleeve over the cable abuts against the underside of the body. The spring arm is clamped at one of its ends to the cross rod and a further spring arm is also clamped to the cross rod and has its free end urged into abutment with a stop fixed relative to the body. The cable is secured to the end of the spring arm which is remote from cross rod and the cable biases the further arm into engagement with the stop. The provision of the spring arms serves to reduce the amount of angular movement imparted to the cross rod by the cable when changes in the attitude of the vehicle body relative to the wheels occurs under changing conditions of load carried by the body.
