A dual-axle vehicle corner assembly which may include a sub-frame, a first arm connected to the sub-frame and rotatable with respect to the sub-frame about a first arm axis, the first arm having a first axle axis about which a first wheel rotates when connected to the first arm, a second arm connected to the sub-frame and rotatable with respect to the sub-frame about a second arm axis, the second arm having a second axle axis about which a second wheel rotates when connected to the second arm, and a suspension system comprising a piston assembly interconnecting the first arm and the second arm, the piston assembly is to controllably increase and decrease a length of the piston assembly to control a distance between the first axle axis and the second axle axis.

A two-piece limit strap clamp for use with a shock absorber and a limit strap retention device is provided. The pieces couple together around the upper end of a shock absorber. The clamp has a protrusion that extends outwardly and is adapted for attachment of the top end of a limit strap. The lower end of the limit strap may be attached to a mounting tab that is coupled to the lower mounting bracket of the shock absorber. Also disclosed is a limit strap with a tether coupled to a spring of the shock absorber to prevent the limit strap from bowing out when the shock absorber is compressed. A method of use of a limit strap with a tether is also disclosed.

The present invention provides a wheeled conveyance (10) having a chassis (12) having a first base member (12a) and having a longitudinal axis X, a plurality of wheels (14, 16, 18, 20) and a suspension system (22) between one or more of the plurality of wheels (14, 16, 18, 20) and the chassis (12), wherein said suspension system (22) has on or more front arms (24a, 24b) extending in a generally forward (F) and outward direction (O) and being mounted to the chassis (12) for substantially vertical movement about a pivot axis A-A or B-B which extends at an acute angle of a relative to longitudinal axis X. The arrangement is more able to absorb shock and more stable than arrangements of the prior art.

A suspension system for a dual-axle wheels assembly, including a sub-frame, a first arm connected to the sub-frame and rotatable with respect to the sub-frame about a first axis, a first connector connected to the first arm and having a first connector axis about which a first wheel rotates when connected to the first connector, the first connector axis is parallel to the first axis, a second arm connected to the sub-frame and rotatable with respect to the sub-frame about a second axis that is parallel to the first axis, a second connector connected to the second arm and having a second connector axis about which a second wheel rotates when connected to the second connector, the second connector axis is parallel to the second axis, and a motion restrainer comprising a spring and a damper and interconnecting the first arm and the second ram.

A rolling type vehicle includes a pair of left and right front wheels and has a vehicle body capable of rolling. The rolling type vehicle includes a pair of left and right arm members supported in a swingable manner by the vehicle body on inner sides in the transverse direction for supporting the left and right front wheels in a steerable manner on outer sides in the transverse direction. A pair of left and right knuckle members are supported by transversely outer end portions of the left and right arm members in a swingable manner and which are steered together with the left and right front wheels, respectively. A regulating member for regulating the turning angle of each front wheel is provided between the transversely outer end portion of at least one of the left and right arm members and the knuckle member supported by the transversely outer end portion.

A spring element, in particular a jounce bumper, for a vehicle suspension contains a longitudinal axis, a base body extending along the longitudinal axis, and an end portion positioned on a base end of the base body. The base body is elastically deformable between an uncompressed basic state and a compressed state in which the base body is at least partially compressed in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The end portion is configured for mounting the base body in a mounting cap. It is suggested that the end portion contains a plurality of at least two radially extending retention elements that are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and each of the retention elements are configured to engage a mating retention element provided on the mounting cap.

A bushing for a wheel suspension adapted to connect a control bar to a structure of a vehicle, where the bushing comprises a first rotational center for the control bar having a first angular rotation range, where the bushing comprises a second rotational center for rotational angles outside of the first angular rotation range.
