<p>A trailing arm suspension comprising a pair of trailing arm assemblies (16) carrying an axle (12) on which ground-engaging wheels are mounted. Each of the trailing arm assemblies comprises a trailing arm (18) having one end pivotally mounted to a frame bracket (20) depending from a vehicle frame (10) and another end connected to the vehicle frame through an air spring (24) that resiliently resists the pivotal movement of the trailing arm. The axle is connected to the trailing arm between the pivotal connection and the air spring by a wrapper band (40) that compressively holds the axle and is coupled to the trailing arm by a resilient connection (26, 28). A brake assembly mounting bracket (70, 72, 74) is rigidly connected to at least one of the wrapper bands and couples the operating movement of the brake assembly with the axle.</p> |
