ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method of providing self-tracking rear axles on non-articulated vehicles having more than one rear axle. In existing suspension systems employing torque rods which lie substantially parallel to the longitudinal center-line of the vehicle, the forward ends of each pair of torque rods are moved laterally inwardly toward each other and the vehicle center-line and re-mounted to one of the frame or associated rear axle (the same one on which the forward end was originally mounted). The forward ends of each torque rod pair are also laterally spaced from each other to provide separate reaction forces at each forward end which provides the self-tracking movement of the rear axles upon cornering. Shock absorbers are also modified to accept lateral deflection. Other specialized suspension modifications are disclosed as they relate to specific existing suspension types.
