Abstract
This unit is provided with two hydropneumatic jacks (2) having parallel vertical axes X--X and comprising bodies (5) adapted to be rigidly connected by a plate (3) and mounted slidably on rods (6) fixed to the chassis (7) of the vehicle. The plate (3) is sufficiently wide to allow if desired the passage of a transmission for the corresponding wheel. This arrangement improves the guiding of the wheels by holding them in fixed planes and enables them if desired to be made into driving and/or steered wheels.
