ABSTRACT:
A steering and suspension mechanism for a wheeled vehicle incorporating bump steer control. The mechanism comprises a pair of spaced apart universal joints one of which is fixedly located and the other positionably supporting the wheel axle. A spacer member positions the universal joints at a selected spaced relationship. A rotatable steering shaft is connected to one side of the fixed in position universal joint. The center of the opposite side of the fixed in position universal joint is pivotally connected to one end of the spacer. The other end of the spacer is connected to the center of one side of the wheel axle supporting universal joint. The opposite side of the wheel supporting universal joint is connected to the wheel supporting axle. In one embodiment a tie rod is pivotally connected off center and adjacent to the spacer member on each universal joint through a ball connection. An attachment between the wheel axle and frame provides additional support thereto.
