  • Patent number: 11267304
    Abstract: The suspension system includes a stabilizer bar which has an opening. The suspension system also includes a linkage, which includes a rod-shaped link and a pair of bushings that are made of a compressible material. The link presents male threads which extend to an end face and a stop out which is spaced from the end face, and the link extends through the opening of the stabilizer bar. One of the bushings is disposed on the rod-shaped link between the stop out and the opening of the stabilizer bar, and the other bushing is disposed on the link between the opening of the stabilizer bar and the locking nut. A locking nut is threadedly engaged with the link such that the end face of the link contacts a closed end of the locking nut. The bushings are partially compressed against the stabilizer bar.

  • Patent number: 10895343
    Abstract: The jack stand assembly includes a coupling plate with a plurality of openings for receiving the lugs of a wheel hub to fixedly attach the coupling plate with the wheel hub. The coupling plate is operably supported by a support structure which has an adjustable height. The support structure is configured to rotate about a vertical axis to allow the wheel hub to be rotated in a steering motion when the wheel hub is fixedly attached with the coupling plate. A bearing assembly is interposed between the coupling plate and the support structure to allow the wheel hub to rotate about a horizontal axis.
