Abstract
A truck cab suspension system provides improved lateral location of the cab and restrains the cab from detachment from the vehicle chassis during accidents. The suspension system offers simplification over the prior art by providing a lateral locating wheel set in a vertical travel between the chassis and the vehicle cab. The travel provides a backup link between cab and chassis. The locating wheel is cushioned to provide bumper like protection for lateral, and both up and down vertical shocks.
