Abstract (en)

[origin: ES472503A1] A vehicle having a rigid axle connected to the vehicle chassis by link assemblies each comprising a first link connected at an end of the axle and an upper, second, link pivoted at one end to the chassis, the other ends of the two links being pivoted together. A spring acts on the second link at a position to give a displacement of the spring in roll of between 75% and 125% of its displacement in bump. The upper link may be triangulated in an assembly to provide for pivoting of its connection with the first link about an axis inclined to the vehicle center line.
