ABSTRACT:
The presently disclosed mechanism is used on a vehicle having front wheels steerably mounted on a support member which is suspended from the frame of the vehicle. A drive-transfer case is centrally located on the frame and angle-drive cases are mounted on the support member. A two section drive shaft, interconnected by a universal joint drivingly connects the output of the transfer case with each input of the angle-drive cases. The forward section of the drive shaft is encased in a tubular torque reaction member which is rigidly fixed to the angle-drive case. A bracket and an arcuate-shaped arm connect the reaction member to the frame for pivotal movement about the axis of the universal joint. A shock absorber is mounted between a retainer secured to the frame and flange means formed on one of the angle-drive case and the steering knuckle support rearwardly of the steering axis and the upper control arm.
