ABSTRACT:
A known vehicle front wheel suspension incorporates a cross-member of sheet material adapted to support a wheel suspension assembly at each end of the cross member. Each assembly comprises a lever arm shock absorber mounted on an upper location on an end of the cross-member having a damped lever arm serving as an upper arm for the wheel suspension; the inner end of the damped lever arm being adapted to rotate about a first axis of fixed alignment relative to the cross member; a lower arm pivotably attached at its inner end to a lower location on an end of the cross-member so as to rotate about a second axis of fixed alignment relative to the cross member; a wheel carrier pivotably located by and between- the outer end of the upper arm for rotation about a third axis, and the outer end of the lower arm for rotation about a fourth axis; the first, second, third and fourth axis all being parallel to one another; and a coil spring acting between the lower arm and the cross member. The present also relates to a method of modifying a suspension system.
