Vehicle independent wheel suspension - with adjustable bearings for trailing arms to control wheel alignment

摘要

The wheels are supported at the ends of two trailing arms with one arm longitudinal and the other inclined towards the middle of the vehicle. For improved control on setting the wheel alignment the arms are secured on special bearings and movable on bearing blocks with curved surfaces. The bearings can be moved along arcs whose centre of curvature lies in the middle of the wheel. The system is especially suited driving wheels, especially front wheel drive. The bearing blocks are rubber bonded metal surfaces with slots for the securing bolts.
