  • Assembly for vehicle suspension system
    Patent number: 6513818
    Abstract: An assembly (20) for use in a vehicle suspension system for connection with a wheel (14) of a vehicle includes first and second hollow hydroformed sections (42 and 44). In one embodiment of the assembly (20), upper and lower pivot mountings (110 and 68) are connected with the hollow hydroformed sections (42, 44). A wheel mounting section (24) is pivotally connected with the upper and lower pivot mountings (110 and 68). The pivot mountings (110, 68) allow the steerable vehicle wheel (14) to be turned to effect steering of a vehicle (10). The assembly (20) may be utilized in association with a vehicle wheel (16) which is not steerable. When the assembly is utilized in the vehicle wheel (16) which is not steerable, the pivotal wheel mounting section (24) may be eliminated.
