<p>An axle-to-beam connection (205) for a vehicle axle/suspension system includes an axle (232) having at least one depression (208) formed therein. A sleeve is formed with at least one depression (206), on the exterior surface, and disposed about the axle (232) so that the axle depression (208) and the sleeve depression (206) engage one another to form an interlocked pair of depressions. A method of forming the axle-to-beam connection includes providing an axle and disposing a sleeve about the axle. At least one mated pair of depressions (206, 208) is simultaneously formed in the axle and the sleeve. The sleeve is immovably mounted to a vehicle axle/suspension system.</p> |
