In a suspension system for a double-axle vehicle wherein load- sharing up and down movement of the axles 26, 27 occur in a rectilinear manner so as to cope with road surface irregularities, such as potholes, the forward end of the leading spring 28 and the trailing end of the other spring 29 are each carried by a cranked rocker 30, 34, the intermediate ends of the springs are interconnected by a further rocker 39, a torsion shaft 41, 43 links one axle to a rocker mounting point, and the free arms of the two cranked rockers 30, 34 are connected by a rod 37 which causes the cranked rockers to move synchronously as the springs move up and down, thereby ensuring rectilinear movement of the springs. <IMAGE> |
