Turning mechanism and vehicle

A turning mechanism is equipped with a wire (first movable member) which moves in a movable direction (direction of the arrow B) under the motive power of a turning actuator, a wire (second movable member) which moves in a movable direction under the motive power of a turning actuator, and a coupler connecting the two wires. The coupler is configured in a manner so that the wires are capable of being moved independently in the case that a difference (differential angle) between the toe angles of the rear wheels lies within an allowable range, whereas in the case that the differential angle has exceeded the allowable range, is configured in a manner so that the wires are capable of being operated in a mutually interlocked manner.

Air suspension system having a damped linkage rod assembly for controlling a height-leveling air valve

A levelling valve assembly for an air suspension system of a heavy vehicle is provided, including an air valve configured to allow air to either enter or escape from an air spring based on a position of a control arm of the air valve, and including a linkage rod assembly configured to translate movement between a sprung and unsprung mass of the vehicle into a rotation of the control arm to regulate a ride height of the vehicle. The linkage rod assembly further includes a spring and damper arrangement configured to dampen or block movement of the control arm not caused by a change in a mass loading of the vehicle.
