MOUNTING FOR THE BODY STRUCTURE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

A motor vehicle comprises a chassis (1), a body structure (4) e.g. a tilt-cab, mounted thereon by a bar (10) the bar (10) has a straight central section (12) and forwardly and rearwardly directed radial end sections. The straight section is attached to the chassis (1) by resilient bushes in brackets (19, 20) and the ends of the radial sections are attached to the cab (4) by pivotal bearings housed within the brackets. The bar (10) accommodates twisting of the chassis relative to the cab (4), thus reducing stresses in the cab, and also acts in conjunction with the bushes to provide a cab suspension.
