This invention relates generally to a unitized heavy duty axle suspension
and steering system for self powered chassis. The steerable suspension
system embodied in this invention takes advantage of the unique location
and connection of the steering gear to the Pitman arm and its location
and connection by the primary drag link to the bell crank assembly below
and in-between the frame rails and above the axle. The primary drag link
is the same length as the suspension arms and is located in a parallel
plane to them when the vehicle is moving forward in a straight line. This
unique arrangement virtually eliminates the phenomenon known as bump
steer and allows the wheels to turn at a high degree of steer,
dramatically increasing maneuverability for long wheel base chassis. The
assembly with all of the steering controls and components between the
rails and above the axle allow for unitized assembly and very
straightforward installation.
