<p>A wheeled vehicle, such as a coach, is provided with a suspension system for road wheels comprising an axle (12), with a road wheel at each end, a transverse beam (20) parallel to the axle (12), and structural members (21,22) coupling the axle (12) to the beam (20), each extremity of the transverse beam being spaced from the vehicle body by a resilient means (24,25); the members (21,22) having parallel resilient extensions (31,32) on the opposite side of the axle (12) to the beam (20). The end (35,36) of each extension (31,32) remote from the axle is pivotably coupled to an anchorage on the vehicle body forwardly of the axle (12). Each extension (31,32) has a cross-section whose area reduces as the distance of the cross-section from the axle (12) increases.</p> |
