ABSTRACT:
A suspension system for a vehicle cab which includes springs supporting the rear end of the cab over the frame. A sway resisting device including a torsion, or sway, bar is coupled to the frame and has arms extending outwardly therefrom which connect to the cab. The sway bar is restrained against movement laterally of the truck and through its connection with the cab inhibits lateral movement of the cab relative to the frame. The torsional resistance in the sway bar resists side-to-side roll of the cab relative of the frame.
