An adjustable camber and caster bushing. The bushing comprises a planar portion having a first side, a second side, an aperture and an outer perimeter. The bushing also comprises a tubular portion, which is integrally formed with and unitary with the planar portion. The tubular portion comprises an inner diameter, an outer diameter, a first end, and a second end. The inner diameter defines an aperture extending the length of the tubular portion. The inner diameter is tapered, while the outer diameter remains constant. The tubular portion also comprises a slot extending the length of the tubular portion.

The present invention concerns a wheel suspension 5 for a torsion beam axle 1, whereby a wheel mount 8 rotates about a virtual steering axle 18 as a result of a cornering force. According to the invention, it is further provided that a wheel mount bracket 6 with a yielding element 11 is coupled to the end 4 of a longitudinally extending swing arm 3 of the torsion beam axle 1, so that an additional steering in positive toe occurs as a result of a lateral force effect.

A suspension module having a subframe assembly. The subframe assembly may include a lower subframe that may pivotally support at least one lower control arm. An upper control arm mounting plate may be mounted to the lower subframe. The upper control arm mounting plate may pivotally support an upper control arm.

A suspension module having a knuckle, a pedestal, an upper control arm, and first and second air springs. The pedestal may be disposed on the knuckle and may support the first and second air springs. The upper control arm may be pivotally mounted to the pedestal between the first and second air springs.

A lower arm 13 of a double wishbone type suspension device includes a substantially linear lateral arm 19 of which one end is connected to a vehicle body and the other end is connected to a knuckle 11 and a compression arm 20 of which one end is connected to the vehicle body and the other end is connected to a middle portion of the lateral arm 19 in the vehicle width direction, the lateral arm 19 is connected to a lower end of a stabilizer link 31 at the inside of a hole portion 19a opened to an upper surface of the lateral arm, and the other end of the compression arm 20 is connected to the lateral arm 19 at bifurcated portions 20a and 20b interposing the hole portion 19a from the inside and the outside in the vehicle width direction.

A suspension system for a vehicle having a frame includes a first interface member configured to be positioned on a first lateral side of the frame and a second interface member configured to be positioned on an opposing second lateral side of the frame. The first interface member and the second interface member are positioned along a common central axis. The suspension system also includes a first swing arm coupled to the first interface member and configured to rotate about the common central axis, a second swing arm coupled to the second interface member and configured to rotate about the common central axis, and a sway bar coupled to the first interface member and the second interface member. The sway bar is positioned coaxially with the common central axis and extends between the first swing arm and the second swing arm.

The invention relates to an axle unit comprising an axle tube and a link element, wherein the axle tube substantially extends along a tube axis, wherein the link element has a joining portion with a first welding portion and a second welding portion, wherein the link element is arranged with its joining portion adjacent to the axle tube and substantially transversely with respect to the tube axis, wherein, in the first welding portion and in the second welding portion, a welded joint can be produced between the link element and the axle tube.

The present invention concerns an axle unit comprising a stub axle and an axle tube, wherein the stub axle has a longitudinal channel which extends inside the stub axle substantially along a stub axis, wherein the stub axle has a transverse channel which extends inside the stub axle substantially transversely to the stub axis and opens to the environment at the outer face of the stub axle, wherein the longitudinal channel and the transverse channel are connected together, wherein the stub axle has a stub joining region to which the hollow-bodied axle tube can be secured.

An axle unit includes an axle tube and a suspension arm element, wherein the axle tube extends substantially along a tube axis, wherein the suspension arm element has a first joining region comprising a recess, wherein the first joining region of the suspension arm element is adjacent to the axle tube, wherein the suspension arm element is substantially transverse to the tube axis, and wherein a weld portion between the suspension arm element and the axle tube is located in the first joining region.

An axle unit comprising a first suspension arm element and a second suspension arm element, wherein the first suspension arm element and the second suspension arm element can be mounted on a vehicle frame so as to be pivotable about a common pivot axis, wherein the first suspension arm element has a first joining region configured as a recess, and the second suspension arm element has a second joining region configured as a recess, wherein the first joining region and the second joining region are arranged on two opposing sides of an axle tube extending substantially along a tube axis, and wherein the axle tube can be secured by substance bonding in the first and second joining regions to the first and second suspension arm elements.
