Abstract

A vehicle suspension system comprises a beam mounted for pivoting movement to a hanger and securely to a vehicle axle where the beam is constructed with a laterally widening base as it extends longitudinally from the pivot mounting to the vehicle axle and with an axle shell securing the beam to the axle where the shell connection to the axle reduces stress on the vehicle axle.
