ABSTRACT:
The variable ratio floating suspension system (10) includes upper (30) and lower (40) leverage arms with a shock-absorbing component (50) connecting the leverage arms (30, 40). In the preferred embodiment, the leverage arms (30, 40) and shock-absorbing component (50) pivotally connect a vehicle chassis to a vehicle wheel spindle (26). As the vehicle moves over uneven terrain, the configuration of the variable ratio floating suspension system (10) isolates vibrations and other unwanted forces in the shock-absorbing component (50) so that these forces are not transferred to the associated vehicle chassis.
