ABSTRACT:
A novel steerable solid axle suspension system capable of eliminating the need for steering dampers includes a solid axle (12) suspended from a vehicle frame (14) by leaf spring assemblies (48) and right and left shock absorbers (30, 38). The suspension also includes a track bar (140) laterally connecting the solid axle (12) to the frame (14). The suspension also includes a steering gear (132) having a pitman arm (130) connected to a drag link (128). The drag link (128) extends downwardly to connect to a tie rod (122) which extends between and interconnects first and second steering knuckles (24, 22).
