<p>An axle suspension system for a vehicle including a pair of torque rods splayed or outwardly angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle in which the torque rods cross each other and are flexibly connected to the vehicle chassis at their outer ends and flexibly connected to an axle at their inner ends, typically at a level above the axle corresponding to the level of and in proximity to the roll centre of the vehicle chassis. In one embodiment, one of said torque rods curved upwardly in a vertical plane crosses the other of said torque rods curved downwardly in a vertical plane whereby interference between them is avoided. In another embodiment, one of the torque rods passes through an enlarged opening in the other torque rod to avoid interference between the torque rods.</p> |
