ABSTRACT:
A cab suspension system comprises an active, computer controlled damping mechanism positioned between the cab and the truck frame, at the rear of the cab. Further, corner mounted high and low level passive damping mechanisms are provided at the front of the cab. Also, a torsion bar is engaged centrally across the frame members beneath the cab, the torsion bar controlling side roll and sway, as well as acting as a radius rod to limited fore-aft travel of the cab.
