Abstract
Systems and methods for improving vehicle rear suspension and operation and to reduce the 3D trajectory motion of the suspension components into separate linear and rotational movements, and allow for a more stable and steady vehicle ride.
Claims10
A vehicle rear suspension system, comprising:
- an upper elongated front support having ends attached to a vehicle chassis and a middle portion therebetween;
- an upper elongated rear support having ends attached to the vehicle chassis and a middle portion therebetween;
- a connector for attaching the middle portion of the upper elongated front support to the middle portion of the upper elongated rear support, the connector for allowing the upper elongated front support and the upper elongated rear support to pivot to one another about the connector;
- a left stabilizer arm having an upper end attached to a left side of the connector, and a lower end;
- a right stabilizer arm having an upper end attached to a right side of the connector, and a lower end;
- a left bushing block mounted to a left side of a differential which is mounted on a vehicle axle, wherein the lower end of the left stabilizer arm is slidable up and down within the left bushing block;
- and
- a right bushing block mounted to a right side of the differential, wherein the lower end of the right stabilizer arm is slidable up and down within the right bushing block, and wherein the connector allows the axle to rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise relative to the vehicle chassis.
5 more elements
A vehicle rear suspension assembly, comprising:
- front and rear supports having ends attached to a vehicle chassis, and middle portions;
- a connector for attaching the middle portions of the front and rear supports to one another and for attaching the middle portions of the front and rear supports to a differential on a rear vehicle axis, wherein the suspension assembly allows the vehicle axle to float up and down and rotate relative to the vehicle chassis.
