An outdoor power equipment unit includes independent suspension system having a frame, a first wheel assembly, a second wheel assembly, a first laterally-extending suspension arm pair, and a second laterally-extending suspension arm pair. The first wheel assembly includes a first wheel and a first side suspension arm. The first side suspension arm is pivotably coupled at a first end to a first side structural member and is fixedly coupled at a second opposite end to a joint of the first wheel assembly. The second wheel assembly is arranged similarly to the first wheel assembly. Both the first laterally-extending suspension arm pair and the second laterally-extending suspension arm pair are configured to independently pivot about the frame to be vertically displaceable relative to the frame.

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 wheel suspension for a motor vehicle includes a wheel linkage. The wheel linkage has a bearing region and a spring element. The wheel linkage has a first linkage arm with a first connecting element. A second linkage arm has a second connecting element. The second linkage arm has a first longitudinal region having the second connection element and a second longitudinal region attached to the first longitudinal region and disposed between the bearing region and the first longitudinal region. The second longitudinal region is offset in relation to the bearing region and the first longitudinal region downwardly in a vertical direction of the motor vehicle in an installation position of the wheel suspension.

A fork leg for rotating a wheel of a motor vehicle is provided with a fastening flange for the coaxial, torque-proof fastening of a steering rod, an extension region protruding from the fastening flange substantially perpendicularly to the steering axis for bridging a lateral distance to the wheel, a coupling point for the articulated connection of a rocker which is connected to the wheel and a connection piece which is connected integrally to the extension region and to the coupling point, wherein the connection piece is shaped to accommodate a large steering angle.

A fiber composite component has two inner elements arranged at a distance from one another, around which inner elements a fiber-reinforced plastics band is wrapped. In order to simplify the production of the fiber composite component, a first fiber-reinforced plastics band is wrapped around a first inner element, and a second fiber-reinforced plastics band is wrapped around a second inner element. The first and the second fiber-reinforced plastics band are wrapped alternately around the first and the second inner element in such a manner that the distance between the inner elements is bridged by the first and the second fiber-reinforced plastics band.

A method for producing a vehicle component (10), in which a joint housing (1) is inserted in a predetermined insertion direction (13) into a through-hole (12) of a structural component (11). The insertion of the joint housing (1) into the through-hole (12) in the insertion direction (13) terminates when an stop element (6) of the joint housing (1) abuts against the structural component (11). After the insertion, the joint housing (1) is connected to the structural component (11) in a materially-merged manner. To reduce the complexity and/or the production costs, the method includes the joint housing (1) being inserted into the through-hole (12) with its housing bottom (4) first.

A suspension for a vehicle is configured such that, even in a situation of departing from a range in which a spring may be tensioned as a rebound state is added in a full rebound state, a lower end of the spring is continuously supported by a spring seat support arm, so as to prevent separation of the spring connecting a suspension arm to a body member.

A fiber-reinforced plastic chassis may include a steering element, where the steering element comprises at least one reinforcement structure formed with continuous fibers, where the steering element comprises at least one stiffening structure formed with short and/or long fibers, where the at least one reinforcement structure is formed integrally with the at least one stiffening structure via a thermosetting matrix material, and where the steering element comprises a plurality of bearing receivers integrated in at least one of the at least one reinforcement structure and the at least one stiffening structure for receiving bearing elements.

The device has an electrical traction machine (20) suspended to a body of a hybrid or electric motorization vehicle and providing engine torque (CM) applied to rear wheels (3, 4). A mechanical link is provided between the machine and a deformable crossmember (2) to transmit torque effect (CR) with the engine torque to the crossmember for descending the rear wheels with respect to the body of the vehicle and for creating anti-squat effect during acceleration in electric propulsion of the vehicle. The link is provided with a connection shaft (30) connected to two levers (21, 33).

The invention relates to a chassis suspension component with a bracket made from a formable base material, preferably sheet steel, and comprising at least one slot for receiving a connecting bolt and at least one stop for an eccentric disc which is or can be connected rotationally fixedly to the connecting bolt. In order to be able to produce the eccentric stop process-reliably and economically without the risk of crack formation, the invention proposes to provide a tab formed from the base material and folded relative to a body portion of the suspension component and having a recess surrounding the slot, which recess defines two elongate stop faces running parallel to each other, wherein the stop faces serve as a stop for the eccentric disc. The invention also relates to a method for producing a chassis suspension component.
