ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension assembly for providing stabilization between the vehicle frame and axle housing comprises a pair of laterally spaced-apart arms with a transversely extending torsion bar joined at the rear ends thereof. The front end of each arm is connected to the axle housing by means of a bracket particularly designed to be sandwiched between the vehicle springs and rear axle housing so as to be concurrently responsive in movement to deflection of the vehicle spring and vertical displacement of the axle housing. Front and rear hinge structures resiliently join the ends of each arm to the bracket and vehicle frame respectively so as to permit yieldable movement to the arm connected therebetween. Presentation of an uneven load to the vehicle causes the flexion of the normal curvature of one or both or the leaf spring assemblies which is transmitted through the associated bracket and arm linked thereto. A resultant force is transmitted along the torsion bar to the opposite arm and associated spring so as to inhibit transverse tilting of the vehicle frame. The resilient hinge structures further aid in smoothness of ride by absorbing road shock transmitted thereto during normal vehicle movement.
