ABSTRACT:
A stabilizing system is described for vehicles having multiple axles. The system involves the use of flexible yet nonextensible connecting members that may be mounted to extend between ends of axles (adjacent the wheels) and the vehicle frame. The connector will therefore preferably extend from the axle mount to an anchor point on the vehicle frame opposite the axle mount. The connectors will preferably be parallel to the axles and in a substantially horizontal plane with respect to the frame and ground surface. The connectors will allow relatively free vertical motion of the wheels and associated suspension but will transmit turning forces directly to the frame that would otherwise tend to bind the axles at their mounting bushings during turning movements of the associated vehicle. Transmission of these horizontal forces to the frame eliminates significant wear between the mounting points for the vehicle suspension, wheels, and frame.
