ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for a double-axle vehicle has been developed which allows load-sharing up and down movement of the axles to occur in a rectilinear manner so as to cope with road surface irregularities, such as potholes. The rectilinear manner of the movement ensures that the axles do not twist and, for example set up driveline vibration in a driven axle. The forward end of the leading spring and the trailing end of the other spring are each carried by a cranked rocker. The intermediate ends of the springs are interconnected by a further rocker. A torsion shaft links one axle to a rocker mounting point, and the free arms of the two cranked rockers are connected by a rod which causes the cranked rockers to move synchronously as the springs move up and down, thereby ensuring rectilinear movement of the springs.
