Vehicle chassis system with an offset track bar

A chassis system of a vehicle, the chassis system comprising:

• a frame of the vehicle forming a base for the vehicle;
• an axle operably coupled to the frame, the axle having a first portion with a first diameter and a second portion with a second diameter;
• an electric motor operably coupled to the axle to propel the vehicle;
• one or more wheel assemblies operably coupled to the axle;
• and
• a track bar operably coupled to the axle via a first end and operably coupled to the frame via a second end,
• wherein the track bar modulates lateral movement and lateral stiffness of the axle,
• wherein the second end is linearly displaced from the first end along a reference line,
• wherein the track bar includes a hook portion defining an offset from the reference line, the offset extending away from the axle, and
• wherein the hook portion extends around a transition between the first portion and the second portion of the axle.
