ABSTRACT:
A half-track multi-use vehicle having an independent suspension system that reduces body roll during operation in rough or sloping terrain. The vehicle includes a frame, a pair of beams that each holds mid and rear wheels, and a suspension system extending between the each beam and the frame. The suspension system includes a plurality of cushions and a stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bar is secured to each beam at a predetermined position between the mid and rear wheels. The predetermined position is selected such that each wheel's wheel rate, which is the combined spring rate contributed by an associated cushion and the stabilizer bar, is equal.
