Abstract
A suspension system for snow vehicles of the type comprising a pair of steerable skis which are attached to the forward end of the vehicle by means of leaf springs, the suspension system including a pair of direct acting, telescopic shock absorbers cooperable with the leaf spring assemblies and operatively connected thereto by pairs of adaptor or attachment bracket assemblies that permit the shock absorbers to be conveniently surmounted directly above the respective leaf spring assemblies without interfering with either the mounting means therefor or the steering shafts of the vehicle, whereby the shock absorbers may cooperate with the leaf spring assemblies in damping impact forces and providing for better steering and a more safe, stable and controlled ride as the vehicle traverses relatively irregular or rough terrain.
