ABSTRACT:
A wheel suspension system includes a wheel support for rotatably supporting a wheel spaced laterally a predetermined distance from a vehicle chassis. A wishbone assembly pivotally connects the wheel support to the vehicle chassis. The wishbone assembly preferably includes a wishbone having a first end pivotally connected to the wheel support and second ends opposite the first end. The wishbone assembly also includes a lever, which extends between the wheel support and each of the second ends of the wishbone. The lever slidably engages with the wheel support and pivotally connects to the second ends of the wishbone. The wishbone assembly further includes a bracket mounted on the chassis for pivotally supporting the lever between the wheel support and each of the second ends of the wishbone. The above configuration provides a wishbone assembly which controls the lateral displacement of the wheel in response to movement of the wheel.
