Abstract
A suspension system for a motor vehicle having a rigid axle supporting the vehicle on coil springs located at either end thereof. Trailing radius arms prevent forward and aft movement of either end of the axle relative to the vehicle and symetrically mounted track bars constrain the axle to move vertically without significant lateral motion. The track bars of the present system operate together to reduce the arcuate movement induced by single track bars in conventional rigid axle suspension systems. Flexible axle mounting brackets enhance the effect of these various rigid links.
