Abstract
A rear suspension particularly adapted for light and medium weight trucks and buses wherein a chassis and body are supported upon a dead axle the latter of which is of a light weight and rigid construction so as to permit a lower positioning of the chassis relative to the ground and in such a way as to eliminate lateral displacement of the dead axle relative to the chassis and wherein the aft end of the roll axis of the suspension is either horizontal or displaced vertically above a horizontal line passing through the point of articulation of the suspension to the chassis to eliminate the tendency of the dead axle to oversteer the vehicle as it moves vertically relative to the chassis.
