Abstract: A suspension system includes a pair of trailing arms (112) extending between frame brackets (18) and a wheel-carrying axle (22). Each trailing arm (112) comrises an I-beam portion having a web section and first and second flanges, wherein the thickness of at least one of the flanges vaires along a length thereof. The trailing arms (112) are welded directly to the axle (22).

Abstract: A trailing beam suspension includes a mechanical adjustment mechanism for aligning the axle and wheels of a vehicle. The trailing beam is mounted to the vehicle frame by a pivot bolt passing through a hanger bracket and a conventional bushed connection. Opposing sides of the hanger bracket contain aligned curved apertures that receive the pivot bolt. The pivot bolt passes through pivot arms which are pivotally connected to the sides of the hanger bracket. The pivot arms are connected to a yoke to which an adjustment shaft is attached. Movement of the adjustment shaft moves the yoke fore and aft. The movement of the yoke pivots the pivot arms, thus moving the pivot bolt in a fore-and aft-direction. When the trailing beam has been aligned, the pivot connection is tightened, thus securing the trailing beam, axle, and wheels in the desired alignment.
