A low suspension arm strut coupling is provided for a suspension of an off-road vehicle. The suspension comprises a lower suspension arm that is hingedly coupled between a chassis of the off-road vehicle and a spindle assembly that is coupled with a front wheel. An upper suspension arm is hingedly coupled between the chassis and the spindle assembly. A strut is coupled between the lower suspension arm and the chassis. A lower pivot couples the strut to the lower suspension, and an upper pivot couples the strut to the chassis. The upper and lower pivots provide a lower center of gravity of the off-road vehicle and a relatively smaller shock angle. The lower suspension arm is reinforced to withstand forces due to movement of the front wheel and operation of the strut in response to travel over terrain.

Vehicle suspension systems are described herein. An example apparatus includes a cam pivotably coupled to a rear axle. The example apparatus also includes a first tie rod having a first end pivotably coupled to the cam and a second end pivotably coupled to a steering knuckle. The example apparatus also includes a second tie rod having a first end pivotably coupled to the cam outboard relative to the first end of the first tie rod and a second end coupled to a steering actuator.

An apparatus for connecting a stabilizer bar to a vehicle includes a support for attaching to the vehicle. The support defines a space for receiving a bushing through which the stabilizer bar can extend. The support includes tabs to which a heat shield can be attached. The heat shield is spaced apart from the bushing to define a gap between the heat shield and the bushing to protect the bushing from heat emitted from the vehicle exhaust system or engine.

A suspension is provided for coupling a front wheel with a chassis of an off-road vehicle. The suspension comprises upper and lower suspension arms that each includes two inboard mounting points to the chassis and one outboard rod-end joint to a spindle assembly coupled with the front wheel. A ball comprising each outboard rod-end joint is fastened by way a bolt between a pair of parallel prongs extending from the spindle assembly. The upper suspension arm is configured to facilitate coupling a strut between the lower suspension arm and the chassis. A steering rod is coupled with the spindle assembly by way of a steering rod-end joint that is disposed forward of a drive axle, thereby decreasing leverage of the front wheel on the steering rod and substantially eliminating bump steer that may occur due to rough terrain.

An all-terrain vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes a lateral stabilizer bar and a shock absorber. The lateral stabilizer bar further includes a main bar, two side bars and ball-pin connecting rods. The side bars are connected to two sides of the main bar respectively and bent backward relative to the main bar, ends of the side bars are disposed on a suspension assembly, the main bar is disposed at the front end of a frame and located in front of a radiator, the ends of the two side bars are connected to the ball-pin connecting rods respectively, and the ball-pin connecting rods are disposed on the upper rocker arm. The side bars and the ball-pin connecting rods of the lateral stabilizer bar are located on an inner side of the shock absorber.

A mobile crane drive assembly axle includes mutually independent suspensions of wheel carriers arranged on both sides of the drive assembly frame of the mobile crane. The suspensions each include at least one transverse control arm which couples the wheel carrier onto the drive assembly frame and is connected to the drive assembly frame such that it can be rotated about an axis which extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drive assembly frame.

The present disclosure discloses an all-terrain vehicle including a frame; a trailing arm, an upper tie rod and a lower tie rod. A front end of the trailing arm is connected to the frame. An inner end of the upper tie rod is connected to the frame and an outer end of the upper tie rod is mounted at a rear end of the trailing arm. An inner end of the lower tie rod is connected to the frame and an outer end of the upper tie rod is mounted at the rear end of the trailing arm. The lower tie rod is located below the upper tie rod. An included angle between the upper tie rod and the lower tie rod being a, and a satisfies a relationship: 0<a<5.

Vehicle suspension systems are described herein. An example wheel steering apparatus includes a steering actuator to couple to a rear axle, a tie rod, and a transfer link to couple the steering actuator and the tie rod. The steering actuator is positioned on a first side of a first longitudinal axis of the rear axle and the tie rod positioned on a second side of the first longitudinal axis of the rear axle opposite the first side.

An active geometry control suspension may include a first link having one side connected to a wheel carrier engaged to a wheel and the other side extending along a width direction of a vehicle; a second link having one side connected to the wheel carrier and the other side extending in the width direction of the vehicle; a first lever having one side connected to the other side of the first link; a second lever having one side connected to the other side of the second link; a connection lever connecting the other side of the first lever and the other side of the second lever; and an actuator connected to the connection lever.

A four-wheeled vehicle includes: a frame; two front suspension assemblies and two rear suspension assemblies connected to the frame; two front wheels operatively connected to corresponding ones of the two front suspension assemblies; two rear wheels operatively connected to corresponding ones of the two rear suspension assemblies; a motor connected to the frame; a front differential and a rear differential operatively connecting the motor to the two front wheels and the two rear wheels respectively; and a steering system. The steering system includes a front steering assembly for steering the front wheels and a rear steering assembly for steering the rear wheels. The front steering assembly includes a user-operated steering input device. The rear steering assembly includes an actuator operatively connected to the rear wheels and operable to modify a steering angle thereof. The actuator is mounted to the frame and is disposed completely rearward of the rear differential.
