Abstract
A method of forming a clevis link having a substantially common wall thickness in a die begins with feeding a metallic strip having a uniform thickness of a predetermined value to the die. The metallic strip is trimmed to form a blank having volume necessary for forming the clevis link to the dimensional configuration required to support the motor vehicle, while maintaining substantially constant wall thickness. The clevis link has center of gravity to provide a necessary moment of inertia thereby enabling the clevis link to support the mass of the motor vehicle.
