Abstract
Various suspension systems for vehicles are described that preferably comprise a multi-link suspension where one or more of the links can move independently of the other links. The multiple independent links are connected to an upright, vertical load reaction that is decoupled from horizontal load reaction, thus delivering a more comfortable ride and reduced feedback to the driver or operator of the vehicle. By eliminating that external feedback using the inventive subject matter discussed herein, vehicles can be safer and easier to control in all circumstances.
Claims11
A suspension system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of links comprising at least a first link and a second link, wherein a first end of the first link is coupled to a chassis of the vehicle and a second end of the first link is coupled to a knuckle at a first point, and wherein a first end of the second link is coupled to the chassis and a second end of the second link is coupled to the knuckle at a second point, and wherein the first link and the second link are unequal in length;
- wherein the knuckle comprises a tire having a spindle snout tip;
- wherein a distance between the first point and the spindle snout tip is approximately equal to a distance between the second point and the spindle snout tip.
