ABSTRACT:
A torsion rod stabilizer assembly for independently sprung steerable front wheels of a vehicle, utilizing a generally U-shaped torsion rod stabilizer having a transversely extending central portion rotatably mounted on a part of the vehicle superstructure, and end portions forming lever arms extending generally longitudinally of the vehicle, the front wheels being rotatably mounted on stub axles carried by steering knuckles which are mounted for pivotal movement about respective steering axes.
To provide an increase in the stabilizing effect when the vehicle is cornering, the lever arms are pivotally connected by means of connecting links to the respective steering knuckles, or equivalent parts, at articulation points which are offset from the respective steering axes at locations such that during cornering the lever arm at the inside of the turn is moved downwardly by a steering-related force transmitted by way of the respective connecting link, and conversely the lever arm at the outside of the turn is moved upwardly.
