ABSTRACT:
A torsion bar oriented longitudinally of a motor vehicle and along the center thereof is connected at its ends to the frame of the vehicle so as to permit the frame to rotate about the axis of the bar. A pair of control arms are each connected between the torsion bar and a corresponding one of the front wheels. The inner end of a first control arm is rigidly connected near one end of the torsion bar and the inner end of the second control arm is rigidly connected to the other end of the torsion bar so that the upward movement of the wheels relative to the frame of the vehicle applies opposite torsional loads to the ends of the torsion bar. The torsion bar and control arms provide support for the vehicle frame at the front end of the vehicle while allowing complete transverse roll freedom of that end of the vehicle. The front wheels are connected together by an axle which is flexibly connected to the outer ends of each of the control arms whereby the control arms are constrained to move together as one or the other of the front wheels encounters an obstacle.
