Abstract
An axle comprises having a crossmember coupling two arms, each arm carrying a stub axle for receiving a wheel, the crossmember being formed essentiy by two coaxial half-crossmembers partially inserted into each other. Resilient rings non-slidingly integral with each of the half-crossmembers and axially spaced from each other ensure the relative torsional stress transmission between the half-crossmembers. The crossmember is not aligned with the pivot axis of the arms on the body.
