ABSTRACT:
The vehicle stabilization system includes a frame (13) supported by wheel support assemblies (10). Each wheel support assembly includes a guide beam assembly (38), a transfer box (70) and a tire and wheel (104) attached to the transfer box by a lower yoke (80), an upper yoke (80) and a suspension spring. A cylinder (162) moves the transfer box (70) relative to the guidebeam assembly (38) to raise and lower the frame (12). A cylinder (168) pivots the guide beam assembly (38) about the axis of a king pin (40) to adjust the camber of a wheel and tire. When the vehicle travels around a curve, cylinders (162) tilt the frame (12) to shift the vehicle center of gravity and the cylinders (168) adjust wheel camber as required.
