Abstract: An off-road vehicle includes a chassis, an axle carriage, a rigid axle and a pair of suspension cylinders. The axle carriage is attached to or forms a part of the chassis, and includes a generally vertically arranged slot. The rigid axle is mounted to the axle carriage with a wheel hub at each end thereof, and is vertically movable relative to the axle carriage. The suspension cylinders are connected between the axle carriage and axle, and are operable to move the axle in vertical directions relative to the axle carriage. The off-road vehicle is characterized in that the axle includes a first pair of roll angle stops which engage the axle carriage when the axle is at or near a fully lowered position relative to the axle carriage, and a second pair of roll angle stops which engage the axle carriage when the axle is at or near a fully raised position relative to the axle carriage.

Abstract: A piston with a piston rod coupled thereto is inserted in a cylinder, which sealingly contains oil. An oil flow generated by movement of the piston is controlled by a damping force generation mechanism, thereby generating a damping force. A separator tube is disposed around the cylinder, and the oil is transmitted to the damping force generation mechanism through a branch tube integrally formed on a cylindrical sidewall of the separator tube. The branch tube is tapered at the outer circumferential portion thereof with the outer diameter thereof reducing toward the distal end of the branch tube.
