A trailing arm suspension is formed as a one-piece stamped body having a central web and two laterally spaced side walls. A wrap is to be secured to an axle and received in a recess between the walls. The integrated wrap has radially outwardly extending ledges which are welded to the walls, and which provide support surfaces along the axle axis. In further features, closing plates are mounted to the spaced side walls.

An axle rocker for connecting an axle 3 to the vehicle body 2 of a motor vehicle, which has a flange 9 provided at the axle 3, a central joint arranged at the flange 9 and two swivel arms 4 and 8 connected to the central joint, which are pivotably fastened to the vehicle body 2. The central joint has a central joint housing 10 and a central joint inner part 11, which is mounted pivotably in same and which protrudes from the central joint housing 10 at its two ends designed as connection pins on two mutually opposite sides. Furthermore, at least part of the central joint housing 10 is made in one piece with the flange 9, and the swivel arms 4 and 8 are fastened with their ends facing the central joint to the two connection pins of the central joint inner part 11.

The present invention provides a heavy duty suspension system including a frame and a pair of spaced apart trailing arms. The trailing arms each include a forward portion pivotally supported by the frame and extending longitudinally to a rearward portion. An axle has opposing end portions pivotally supported respectively on the trailing arms. A V-rod includes first and second spaced apart ends extending to a common third end with the first and second ends preferably pivotally attached to the frame. The third end is preferably pivotally attached to the axle. The V-rod provides lateral stability and defines a pinion angle with the trailing arms. Preferably, the longitudinal length of the V-rod and the length of the trailing arm from the pivotal attachment on the frame to the pivotal attachment on the axle are of equal length to provide a constant pinion angle during movement of the suspension system.

In accordance with the present invention a vehicle comprises a tilting section and a hanging section both connected to each other. When the vehicle is stationary or traveling straight, gravity will pull the hanging section downwards which will stabilize and keep the tilting section upright. When the vehicle is turning, centrifugal force will swing the hanging section outward and tilt the tilting section inside the turn.

A suspension (10) adapted to mount on a vehicle frame having a pair of spaced frame rails (14). The suspension (10) comprises a pair of trailing arm assemblies (12) that carry an axle (16). Each trailing arm assembly comprises a frame bracket (24) adapted to be mounted to one of the frame rails (14) and a spring beam (20) pivotaly mounted at one end to the frame bracket (24) for pivotal movement about a pivot axis (23) and adapted to carry an axle (16) at another end. A spring (26) is disposed between the spring beam other end and the corresponding frame rail to resist the rotational movement of the trailing arm toward the frame. An axle seat (62) is integrally formed in the spring beam (20) for mounting the axle (16) thereto. The spring beam (20) has a pivot axis center line and the axle seat has a center line, which is located outboard of the pivot axis center line.

A suspension assembly has two plates, two sleeves, two wheel mounts and two shock absorbers. Each plate is pivotally attached to one side of the front end of the frame in a first lateral direction. Each sleeve is pivotally attached to one of the plates in a second lateral direction parallel to the first lateral direction. Each wheel mount is pivotally attached to one of the sleeves in a vertical direction perpendicular to the first and second lateral directions. One front wheel is rotatably mounted on each wheel mount. Each shock absorber is pivotally connected between each wheel mount and the frame of the scooter. Accordingly, the front wheels are independently suspended. A force applied to the front wheels will be absorbed by the shock absorber. To steer and to drive the scooter is more comfortable.

A vehicle includes a steering system, suspension system, braking system, and energy conversion system, wherein at least one of these systems is reprogrammable such that the vehicle's ride, response, or handling is selectively variable. The systems may be programmed automatically when a body is mated to a chassis to provide the desired performance characteristics. The invention enables increased vehicle functionality for vehicle users, retailers and manufacturers.

An embodiment of a torque arm apparatus as disclosed herein includes a torque arm beam member and a plurality of axle tube support members. The torque arm beam member has a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side. Each one of the axle tube support members is attached at a respective first end thereof to the torque arm beam member adjacent to the first end of the torque arm beam member. Each one of the axle tube support members includes an axle tube mounting flange attached to a respective second end thereof. The axle tube mounting flange of a first one of the axle tube support members and the axle tube mounting flange of a second one of the axle tube support members are positioned adjacent to the first side and the second side, respectively, of the torque arm beam member.

A suspension assembly is provided for use in stabilizing a vehicle during turning maneuvers. The suspension assembly includes a frame and the stabilizer bar secured to the frame by a bracket. A bushing having a hole along an axis receives the stabilizer bar. The bushing has a first portion disposed between the bracket and the stabilizer bar with the stabilizer bar supported by the first portion in a slip-fit relationship. A second portion extends from the first portion along the axis with a tether portion connecting the first and second portions. A notch is arranged adjacent to the tether portion and separates the first and second portions. Preferably, the notch and tether portion provide a frangible connection between the first and second portions. A clamp is supported on the second portion to secure the second portion to the stabilizer bar thereby preventing relative rotation between the second portion and the stabilizer bar. In this manner, the stabilizer bar is prevented from moving laterally relative to the frame. The bushing is preferably installed onto the stabilizer bar as a unit. The stabilizer bar is secured to the frame with the bracket arranged over the first portion of the bushing assembly.
