Drive axle air suspension

摘要

A lightweight vehicle suspension which is particularly useful for a drive axle uses V-shaped suspension members mounted vertically above the drive axle. The V-shaped members are pivotally connected to the vehicle frame, and an apex of the a-shape is connected at a ball joint to the axle. A lower connecting rod set is also mounted beneath the drive axle. Preferably, there are two of the V-shaped members above the axle and two of the connecting rods below the axle. The overall combination provides a lightweight suspension system that will resist all forces on the axle.
