Abstract
A torsion bar spring suspension for the front wheels of a motor vehicle is disclosed. A continuous torsion bar spring that is formed into the shape of a closed figure has transverse portions that are situated fore and aft the axis of rotation of the front wheels and extend across the vehicle frame. The torsion bar has single loops or coils at each of the outer ends of the transverse portions and these loops are connected by resilient devices to the vehicle frame. Left and right generally Y-shape portions of the torsion bar connect left and right wheel support members to the loops at the ends of the transverse bar portions.
