Abstract
A suspension assembly for a vehicle includes a knuckle, a spring-damper assembly laterally spaced from the knuckle, a first control arm having an inner end and an outer end, a second control arm having an inner end and an outer end, and a stability link having an inner end and an outer end. The inner end of the first control arm is connected to a vehicle body and the outer end of the first control arm is connected to the knuckle by a lower ball joint. The spring-damper assembly is rotatably connected to the first control arm at a lower arm pivot location between the inner and outer ends of the first control arm. The inner end of the second control arm is rotatably connected to the spring-damper assembly at a second control arm pivot location spaced apart from the first control arm pivot location and the outer end of the first control arm is connected to the knuckle by a upper ball joint. The inner end of the stability link is rotatably connected to at least one of the first control arm and the vehicle body, and the outer end of the stability link is rotatably connected to at least one of the spring-damper assembly and the knuckle.
