  • Vehicle and Trailer Set With Interchangeable Suspension Assemblies
    Publication number: 20100117319
    Abstract: An integrated suspension damper assembly for a drive vehicle and a trailer fleet combination includes a suspension damper, an air spring concentrically attached to an upper portion of the suspension damper with an end rotatably attached to a vehicle frame, a yoke having an upper end fixedly attached to a lower portion of the suspension damper and a lower end constructed to be rotatably attached to a lower wishbone control arm. The integrated air spring damper assembly is constructed to maintain a uniform spring rate of said integrated suspension damper assembly to provide a lateral roll stability. Components of said integrated suspension damper assembly are interchangeable for use with the integrated suspension damper assembly as installed in the drive vehicle and its trailer.
