Modular, central frame, offset, dual control arm independent suspension and suspension retrofit

Abstract

A dual control arm independent suspension mounts to a chassis of a high mobility truck for steering, non-steering, driving, and/or for non-driving. The dual control arm independent suspension has modular, tubular-frame and/or differential housing for attachment to front axle positions and/or to rear axle positions to simultaneously employ an upper control arm and a lower control arm. The upper control arm, the lower control arm and/or a half shaft position is offset and/or is staggered along a vehicle to minimize and/or to decouple a reaction of the dual control arm independent suspension from an excitement and/or a resonance. The dual control arm independent suspension is manufactured or is retrofitted to a manufactured swing-arm independent suspension chassis for utilizing an integral differential mount and/or an adapter plate. A modular dual control arm chassis provides tube sections and/or differential assemblies to be added or to be removed to support alternate vehicle configurations. The dual control arm independent suspension modifies differential mounted dual control arm independent suspension designs to accept a central tube frame member.
