Abstract
A vehicle suspension system can include a steering knuckle assembly with a steer return device, and a biasing device comprising an elastomeric toroid which is deformed by the steer return device. Another suspension system can include a king pin having opposite ends, and a steering knuckle assembly including a steer return device, a steer lock, and a biasing device which is deformed by the steer return device. The steer return device, steer lock and biasing device can be positioned at a same opposite end of the king pin. Another suspension system can include a king pin, and a steering knuckle assembly including a steer return device which encircles the king pin. The steering knuckle assembly can be rotated relative to the king pin, without axial displacement relative to the king pin, by a biasing force which results from deformation of a biasing device by the steer return device.
