- a beam portion;
- at least one mounting bushing disposed through the beam portion;
- a linkage rotatably coupled to the beam portion via at least one linkage pivot bushing;
- one or more elastically deformable members coupled to the linkage;
- and
- at least one snubber assembly including at least one snubber member coupled to the beam portion via at least one through-bolt routed through:
- an aperture in the beam portion, an at least partially arcuate slot in the linkage, and an aperture in the at least one snubber member.

2 more elements
A walking beam suspension assembly comprising:
- a beam portion;
- a linkage rotatably coupled to the beam portion;
- one or more elastically deformable members operably coupled to the linkage;
- and at least one axle support operably coupled to the linkage, wherein the axle support is operably coupled to the linkage at a position on the linkage that is between the coupling of the linkage to the beam portion and the coupling of the linkage to the one or more elastically deformable members.
