WHEEL SUSPENSION FOR A TWO-TRACK VEHICLE
A wheel suspension for a two-track vehicle having at least one stabilizer formed as a stabilizer torsion spring rod, with the stabilizer extending in the vehicle's transverse direction and having a drive lever on at least one vehicle side, which acts upon a wheel guidance element of the wheel suspension, and having at least one suspension spring, which is tensioned with a spring preload between the vehicle body and a wheel guidance element of the wheel suspension. The suspension spring is at least partially formed as a suspension spring/torsion spring rod. The suspension spring/torsion spring rod is arranged radially within the stabilizer torsion spring rod designed as a hollow rod.
Recuperating passive and active suspension
An automobile includes an active suspension system and a leveling system. The leveling system receives high pressure fluid from the active suspension system in order to change static vehicle height and compensate for static load changes.
REVERSE SLAPPER HYDRAULIC BUMP STOP ASSEMBLY
A reverse slapper hydraulic bump stop assembly for use in a vehicle includes an upper mounting bracket for affixing to a frame of a vehicle, a lower mounting bracket, a bell crank movably coupled to the upper mounting bracket, and a hydraulic bump stop assembly comprising a first end and a second end. The bell crank includes a bump surface configured to contact the upper mounting bracket. A first end of the hydraulic bump stop assembly is coupled to the lower mounting bracket, and a second end of the hydraulic bump stop assembly is coupled to the bell crank. The hydraulic bump stop assembly is oriented in a substantially vertical direction, such that directions of force do not need to be in line with lower control arm motion, and the assembly can be adjusted towards a front or rear of a vehicle based on a desired bump effect.
