  • Patent number: 3948334
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tandem rear suspension for a motor vehicle having a forward driving axle and a rearward dead axle. Left and right leaf springs are pivotally connected to the vehicle frame and have their forward and rearward ends pivotally connected to the forward and rearward axles, respectively. Forward and rearward pairs of suspension arms interconnect the forward and rearward axles with the vehicle frame. The arms of each pair extend forwardly and inwardly. A stabilizer bar is interposed between the rear dead axle and the vehicle frame. Pneumatic springs are interposed between the forward axle and the frame to provide a means for controlling vehicle height. The suspension is particularly well adapted to a commercial vehicle chassis such as used in motor homes and buses where ride and handling are important considerations.
