<p>There is provided a suspension system (10) for providing a suspension between wheels and a frame (20) of a vehicle. The system (10) comprises an arm beam (30) pivotally mounted to the frame (20) at its proximate end and coupled at its distal end (30c) to a guiding assembly (70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120) enabling the arm beam (30) to pivot in a vertical direction and to be restrained in lateral directions perpendicular to said vertical direction. The arm beam (30) includes: (a) a spring and damper assembly (200, 220) near its distal end for providing a dampened resilient mount for said suspension; (b) a wheel axle beam (210) coupled to the arm beam (30) for bearing a load borne by the wheels transmitted directly in-line with a central axis of said spring and damper assembly (200, 220); and (c) a stabilizer (400, 500, 510) coupled between the arm beam (30) and the frame (20), the stabilizer (400, 500, 510, 600) resisting a lateral rolling motion of said vehicle. The stabilizer (400, 500, 510, 600) is included between the proximate end of the arm beams and their damper and spring assemblies (200, 220) for rendering the system (10) more compact.</p> |
