Abstract: An independent suspension toe and camber adjustment system. The suspension includes four links per side, each side including two different length laterally extending upper control arms, one laterally extending lower control arm, and a longitudinally extending trailing arm. Selected locations, lengths and orientations of the respective arms provide inherent predetermined camber and toe patterns. The adjustment system includes an inverted U-shaped bracket having off-center, aligned openings formed through the legs of the bracket, and mounted on respective fore and aft upper mounting lugs of the knuckle for adjustable cooperation with the outermost ends of the two different length, laterally extending, upper control arms.

Abstract: A suspension system for the rear wheels of a motor vehicle includes a pair of leaf springs having their fore and aft ends pivotally mounted to the vehicle frame or body. The leaf springs flexibly support a tubular rear axle member forwardly and downwardly offset from the rear wheel spindles by a pair of left and right one-piece castings. Each casting has an outboard spindle mounting L-shaped angle portion and an inboard forwardly and downwardly offset collar portion joined by a canted bridging portion. The collars each receive one end of the tubular axle member. The casting include a jounce deflection stop-plate for engaging its associated frame bumper. Leaf springs are seated on each casting below the spindle axis and above the tubular axle member reducing the design height of the vehicle. The tubular axle portion and spindles are constrained to move equal distances during upward jounce deflection.
