ABSTRACT:
Suspension and steering assembly for a snowmobile including at least one ski for supporting a front portion of its body and also for steering the snowmobile, comprising a strut means capable of telescopically expanding and contracting, spring means, a shock absorber and a steering arm means. The strut means includes a first or inner strut member and a second or outer strut member, the first strut member being slidably mounted in the second strut member. The first or inner strut member is pivotally connected at its lower end to the surface of the ski. The second or outer strut member is rotatably supported to the body of the snowmobile. The spring means is operative to urge the two strut members to slide out of each other. The shock absorber is pivotally connected at one end to the ski and at the other end to the second strut member of the strut means, and extends obliquely with respect to the strut means. Steering arm means is fixedly secured to the second or outer strut member for rotating the strut means about its own axis when a steering gear is actuated.
