摘要： A wheel suspension system (98) including a wheel support (100) pivotally attached to a vehicle frame (106) at two, laterally-spaced locations (108, 110), the wheel support (100) being pivotal between an uppermost and a lowermost position. The wheel support (100) is biased to a position intermediate of the uppermost and lowermost positions by a spring (133). The spring (133) urges apart a spring support (132) of the wheel support from the vehicle frame, the spring support being below the rotational axis of the wheel. The pivotal axes (109, 111) of the pivotal attachments (108, 110) are located below the rotational axis of the wheel (102).

摘要： A low profile chassis and suspension system (98, 98', 98', 398, 498, 598, 698) for a road vehicle. The chassis includes a largely planar frame (116) having a top suspension system is particularly compact and close to the road surface. A trailing arm-type wheel support (100) supports a stub axle (114) in a cantilevered fashion. A spring urges (133) the wheel support apart from the frame. A planar portion of the wheel support (100), the wheel support pivot joints (108, 110), and the spring (133) are located beneath the rotational axis (158) of the wheel.
