Abstract
A suspension system in which a relatively lightweight stiff beam connects the axle to the frame via a connection at one end with a resilient link that allows vertical motion of the end of the stiff beam and transverse motion of the stiff beam to reduce the lateral loads between the axle and the beam and between the beam and the frame rail connection to enable the suspension to be made of fewer and lighter weight components for improved payloads. In the preferred embodiment, the connection between the stiff beam and the frame rail is a C-shape spring allowing the forward connection of a horizontal fore aft link to be moved farther forward to give an increased clearance to the wheel, thereby reducing potential interference between the wheel and the horizontal link and bushing assembly at its forward end.
