ABSTRACT:
A vehicle steering and chassis oscillation system with a steering mechanism for steering the vehicle through articulation and a chassis oscillation mechanism for controlling the transverse oscillation of the chassis through pivoting of a link in the articulating mechanism of the vehicle. The oscillation control of the chassis is accomplished through pivoting of a connecting link between the axle and the chassis to tilt the axis of articulation as the connecting link is pivoted. The oscillation of the chassis through oscillation of the articulating axis provides for a means of leveling the vehicle chassis when the terrain carrying the vehicle is on an incline.
