ABSTRACT:
A four-wheel motor vehicle has a frame assembly, a pair of steerable front wheels, a pair of rear wheels, and leveling mechanisms. The four-wheel motor vehicle includes front wheel supporting means angularly movably mounted on the frame assembly and supporting the front wheels, the front wheels being supported at a positive caster angle by the front wheel supporting means when the front wheel supporting means is held at an angle to the frame assembly, rear wheel supporting means angularly movably mounted on the frame assembly and supporting the rear wheels, at least one damper interconnected between the frame assembly and the front wheel supporting means, and at least one damper interconnected between the frame assembly and the rear wheel supporting means. The leveling mechanisms are combined with the dampers for adjusting distances between the frame assembly and the front and rear wheel supporting means when the dampers are inoperative.
