ABSTRACT:
A system for mounting a vehicle axle housing to a vehicle suspension member, such as a main support member, Z-spring or a gooseneck spring, is disclosed. The invention utilizes a bracket welded onto the axle housing so as to eliminate excessive compressive stresses on the axle housing. The suspension member is sandwiched between a top pad and an axle seat. A pair of downwardly extending U-bolts have their bight portions seated on the top pad with their distal ends extending through holes in the axle bracket. Nuts are attached to the U-bolt distal ends to secure the entire assembly together. The system can accommodate a variety of axle seat sizes which in turn allows for a variety of pinion angles to be effected without necessitating the use of a different axle bracket design for each pinion angle.
