ABSTRACT:
A stabilized axle seat for mounting a suspension in cantilever fashion from an axle for a nonpowered vehicle prevents axle windup as the brakes are applied and yet permits limited oscillation of the axle to follow the varying contour of the road. The stabilized axle seat includes two spaced apart axle brackets, each bracket having an ear extending along the side of the torque rod to provide a location at which a bushing may extend through the torque rod and to each axle bracket. A main bushing directly below the axle and connecting the end of the torque rod to the axle brackets provides a second location at which the axle brackets are pivotally mounted to the torque rod. Each of the spaced apart bushings has an elastomeric member which permits limited oscillation of the axle seat and axle to more closely follow the varying contour of the road and provide a smoother and safer ride.
