A vehicle suspension assembly includes a trailing axle carried by a frame of the assembly. The frame can retract to a retracted state from an extended state and extend from the retracted state to the extended state. The retraction and extension can occur along a longitudinal axis of the frame. An operator can pivotally raise and lower a free end of frame in the retracted or extended state along an arcuate path when the vehicle suspension assembly connects to a vehicle.

A spring assembly for a vehicle bogie suspension arrangement. The spring assembly includes a set of washers moulded into an elastomer body. The spring assembly has an axial extension in an axial direction and the washers are arranged relative to each other in the axial direction. At least one of the washers is a spring washer including a spring washer body and at least two spring tongues. Each spring tongue has a spring base connected to the spring washer body and a spring tip distal to the spring base. At least a portion of the spring tongue is located at a non-zero distance from the spring base in the axial direction.

The present invention relates to a coil spring support for a vehicular suspension system, which comprises a base plate and a support column protruding from the base plate, wherein a coil spring is coupled to the support column in such a manner that the lower end of the coil spring is fitted in and coupled to a coupling groove, which is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the support column and at a position having a predetermined height from the base plate, so that the coil spring support can be auxiliarily installed on a plate spring of a vehicle so as to compensate and improve a shock absorbing capability of the existing vehicle.

A bearing arrangement is provided for a side stabilizer of a rear power lift for an agricultural utility vehicle. The arrangement includes a movable bearing and a bearing bracket for the bearing. The bearing bracket is disposable in an installed operating position to achieve a mechanical coupling of the bearing bracket with the rear power lift. An axle housing includes a central longitudinal axis for a rear axle of the utility vehicle. The bearing bracket has a bearing point for the movable bearing of the side stabilizer and is connected to the axle housing by a clamping force. The clamping force is oriented parallel to a traction force acting on the bearing point in the installed operating position.

A center pivot suspension system according to various aspects of the present technology may include a multi-piece axle having controls arms that are pivotally connected to a center beam section of the axle. Each control arm may be able to pivot about the center section independently from the opposing control arm. A leaf spring may be coupled to each control arm to help absorb loads applied to a given control arm.

The invention relates to stabilizer bar (10) for use with the suspension of a vehicle such as a truck. The stabilizer bar (10) comprises a shaft (12) supported by bearings (18), cranked parts for example in the form of crank arms (30) being provided at or adjacent each end of the shaft (12), each cranked part having a connection point (32) for connection, in use, to a respective link member (34), wherein each connection point (32) is substantially aligned with a respective one of the bearings (18) relative to the axis of the shaft (12). The invention also relates to a vehicle incorporating such a stabilizer bar (10) and to a roll stabilization method using such a stabilizer bar (10).

A suspension system for a vehicle with a composite spring may include: a first longitudinally mounted spring 10 and a second longitudinally mounted spring 20 generating vertical stiffness of a vehicle; and a transversely mounted spring 30 generating roll stiffness and connected to the first and second longitudinally mounted springs. In particular, the transversely mounted spring 30 is connected to a vehicle body 1 by a support member 40. Stiffness of the vehicle may be further strengthened during a longitudinal behavior and a rolling behavior of the vehicle, and thus, running stability may be significantly enhanced.

An axle assembly for a vehicle includes an axle beam and a suspension system. The suspension system includes a mounting member, at least one positioning member, and at least one coupling member configured to cooperate to maintain a position of a working component. The mounting member having at least one aperture formed therein is freely disposed on the axle beam and the at least one coupling member is disposed through the at least one aperture of the mounting member and entirely outside the axle beam.

An axle assembly that includes first and second hanger brackets and at least one cross brace. The first and second hanger brackets may be spaced apart from each other and may be adapted to be mounted to a chassis of a vehicle. The cross brace may extend from the first hanger bracket to the second hanger bracket.
