Abstract
A suspension system having a knuckle carrier. A pivot mechanism may pivotally couple a control arm to the knuckle carrier. The pivot mechanism may include a preload nut that may exert a preload force on a bearing assembly. A platform may be fixedly disposed on the knuckle carrier. The platform may support an air spring and may have an arm that is coupled to a stabilizer bar subassembly.
Claims20
A suspension system comprising:
- a knuckle carrier that has a mounting stem;
- a steering knuckle that is pivotally mounted to the knuckle carrier along an axis of rotation;
- an upper control arm that is pivotally mounted to the knuckle carrier along a first control arm pivot axis;
- and
- a platform that is fixedly disposed on the mounting stem and located above the upper control arm, wherein the platform supports an air spring and has an arm that is coupled to a stabilizer bar subassembly.
