A suspension system having a piston platform that supports an air spring. The piston platform may be pivotally mounted to an upper control arm. The upper control arm may be pivotally mounted to a subframe. The piston platform may rotate with respect to the upper control arm when the upper control arm rotates with respect to the subframe.

Suspension system

A suspension module for a vehicle. The suspension module may include a subframe, a skid plate, and a differential. The skid plate may be mounted to the subframe. The differential may be mounted to the skid plate.

Suspension module having a skidplate

A suspension module for a vehicle and a method of manufacture. The suspension module may include a subframe assembly having at least one unitary side plate that is configured to be mounted to a vehicle. The subframe assembly may facilitate mounting of an axle subassembly and a suspension subsystem to the vehicle.

Suspension module for a vehicle and a method of manufacture

An independent suspension includes upper and lower control arms that are coupled to a knuckle that supports a wheel assembly. A spring bracket is pivotally connected to the lower control arm. A drive shaft extends through an opening in the spring bracket to drive the wheel assembly. The spring bracket includes first and second support plates that respectively support first and second springs on opposite sides of the drive shaft. A torque rod is pivotally connected to the spring bracket. The torque rod and the upper and lower control arms are also mounted to a vehicle frame member. The torque rod, knuckle, spring bracket, upper and lower control arms, and vehicle structure cooperate to provide a six link control that accommodates large wheel jounce travel.
