ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension system includes an axle body to extend transversely of a vehicle. Improved radius arms are fixed to the axle body at respective opposite sides of a longitudinal center plane of the vehicle. Each radius arm has a forward arm portion extending forwardly from the axle body and having a front end to be mounted to pivot about a pivot axis to be stationary on a chassis of the vehicle. Each radius arm has a rearward arm portion extending rearwardly from the axle body and including a support portion to support an air spring to be braced upwardly against the chassis of the vehicle. The support portion of each radius arm has a mounting structure to enable the air spring to be mounted to the support portion at a position that is variable relative thereto. Such mounting structure may include a plurality of holes spaced in the width and length directions of the support portion.
