  • Patent number: 4294466
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for redistributing the weight of a vehicle over its front wheels while it negotiates a turn, thereby increasing its turning capability relative to the vehicle the wheel on the inside of the turn and raises the front wheel on the outside of the turn. Specifically, two telescoping members are provided, one which moves axially within the other. One of the telescoping members is attached to the vehicle frame while the other is attached to the front axle of the vehicle. A helical keyway on one of the telescoping members engages a key affixed to the other of the members. As the two members telescope, the member attached to the front axle of the vehicle rotates a small amount, thus raising the outside front wheel and lowering the inside front wheel. The element coupled to the front axle is biased in a forward direction by a resiliently collapsible member such as a shock absorber.
