  • Independent suspension system
    Patent number: 4097057
    Abstract: An independently sprung front suspension system for improving the ride and handling of a recreational vehicle having a unitized body and frame. A wishbone-shaped lower control arm having spaced apart inner ends is mounted for pivotal movement on a control arm shaft, and a tubular member surrounding the control arm shaft is secured to the frame. A pair of spaced apart elastomeric bushings are mounted on the shaft within the tubular member which permit large horizontal deflection and minimal vertical deflection of the shaft within the tubular member during road impact and braking conditions, thereby substantially isolating the frame from such road impact.
