A non-torque reactive air suspension exhibiting excellent roll stability
characteristics is shown to include frame hangers mounted to frame rails
extending longitudinally on opposite sides of a vehicle. Longitudinally
extending beams are connected to the frame hangers at one end and extend
parallel to the frame rails. At their other ends, the beams are joined by
a crossbrace extending laterally across the vehicle centerline. In a
central portion thereof, the beams have an axle pivot bore to which an
axle clamp assembly is connected, the axle clamp assembly clamping a
drive axle housing for the vehicle. The axle pivot bore is generally
aligned with the drive axle. A control rod assembly is connected to
suspension or frame components. Together with the beams, the control rod
assembly forms a parallelogram configuration wherein the beams form the
lower linkages of that configuration and the control rods included within
the control rod assembly form the upper linkages of that configuration.
