PCT No. PCT/GB81/00249 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 19, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 19, 1982 PCT Filed Nov. 19, 1981 PCT Pub. No. WO82/01688 PCT Pub. Date May 27, 1982.A motor vehicle wheel suspension has a compliance device 23 which permits limited longitudinal displacement of the wheel relative to the vehicle so that the wheel can be displaced forwardly and rearwardly by rotating out of balance forces when the wheel rotates at a critical wobble speed- and the geometry of the suspension pivot points 3,9,18 and 15 is arranged to cause the wheel to toe in for forward longitudinal displacement of the wheel and to toe out for rearward longitudinal displacement of the wheel, the amount of toe in or toe out for a given longitudinal displacement being matched with the toe in and toe out arising from wheel oscillations at the critical wobble speed to reduce the effect of the out of balance forces on the unsprung part of the vehicle. |
