ABSTRACT:
An improved road wheel mounting structure. The mounting device comprises a orsion bar fastened a one end to a vehicle hull. The outboard end of the torsion bar is rotatably supported within a sleeve and is connected to a hub. The hub is fastened to a road wheel arm by means of a plurality of the fasteners in such a manner that normal motion of the road wheel causes a rotation of the torsion bar. But an explosive force applied to the road wheel would rupture the fasteners before a significant bending motion is applied to the torsion bar.
