Suspension System

A vehicle suspension system comprising:

• a frame structure of a vehicle platform having a variety of interconnected structural components each having a body with a top, a bottom and side elements that, when interconnected, make up a generally flat planar structure having a front portion, a rear portion, and a center portion, and further comprising a top and a bottom portion corresponding to the top and bottom elements respectively,
• a left and right control arm assembly, each having an upper and a lower control arm and a wheel mount structure wherein each of the upper and lower control arms have a first end and a second end where the first end is pivotably connected to the frame structure and the second end is rotatably connected to a wheel mount structure,
• a load dampening device having an elongated body that is compressible between an upper and lower component wherein the upper component is connected to the frame structure and the lower component is connected to the lower control arm,
• one or more transverse leaf springs having an elongated body with a center portion and two outer portions and an upper surface and a lower surface and two side surfaces extending between a left and a right outer end, wherein the elongated body extends between the left and the right control arm assemblies and wherein the left and right ends are connected to the left and right control arm assemblies respectively through a mounting bracket attached at each of the outer ends, and wherein the transverse leaf spring also has at least two inner mounting brackets located at a distance between a center of the transverse leaf spring and the outer ends.
