Abstract: Mounting means for a cradle assembly carrying the front axle of a vehicle. An articulated vehicle, having a front frame and a rear frame, includes a cradle assembly secured to the front frame for supporting the power-driven front axle of the vehicle. The mounting means for the cradle assembly comprises mounting blocks, coaxially aligned, provided at respective front and rear ends of the front frame. Provided at opposite ends of the cradle assembly are respective tapered mounting pins coaxially aligned. Mutually aligned spherical bushings carried on the outer ends of the mounting pins are received in the mounting blocks of the front frame. Each bushing comprises a cylindrical outer race having a spherical inner core which receives a spherical inner race therein.
