<p>A suspension system for a vehicle includes a frame (4), a wheel support member (6), a leaf spring (8) secured to the wheel support member (6), a first connector (10) for first pivotally connecting one end (9) of the leaf spring (8) to the frame (4), a torsion spring (28) having a central shaft (31), an outer housing (32) and an elastomer (30) disposed between the central shaft (31) and the housing (32), and a lever (21) for pivotally interconnecting the central shaft (31) with the other end of the leaf spring (8). The torsion spring (28) is located between the leaf spring (8) and the frame (4) so that compression of the leaf spring (8) causes the lever (21) to be displaced rotationally toward the vehicle frame (4). <IMAGE></p> |
