Abstract
A drive unit including an engine and steerable wheels, is pivotally connected to the forward end of a chassis, including a body and ground support wheels. A pair of struts movably mounted to the chassis, equilaterally outboard and above the pivotal connection, extend downwardly inward to the drive unit and are movably affixed. In response to the natural tilt of the chassis while transversing a corner, weight is transferred through the struts to equalize traction upon the steerable wheels.
