Abstract: A vehicle suspension system having a torque beam pivotally supported from the vehicle chassis and an axle seat assembly connected to an axle with a telescoping connection between the torque rod beam and the axle seat assembly. The axle seat assembly has a telescoping component with slots in its side walls separating the telescoping component into separable sections. Flanges on the upper and lower sections can be connected by bolts. Bars on the torque beam extend through the slots and also can be connected by the bolts. Spaces are provided to span the distance between the bar and the upper and lower flanges to prevent bending of the flanges when the bolts are tightened.
