Abstract

Claims (16)

1 . A suspension system for a vehicle, comprising:

a plurality of links comprising at least a first link and a second link, wherein a first end of the first link is coupled to a chassis of the vehicle and a second end of the first link is coupled to a knuckle at a first point, and wherein a first end of the second link is coupled to the chassis and a second end of the second link is coupled to the knuckle at a second point, and wherein the first link and the second link are unequal in length;

wherein the knuckle comprises a tire having a spindle snout tip;

wherein a distance between the first point and the spindle snout tip is approximately equal to a distance between the second point and the spindle snout tip.

2 . The suspension system of claim 1 , wherein the first point, the second point and the spindle snout tip define an isosceles triangle.

3 . The suspension system of claim 1 , wherein a first plane intersects the first point, the second point, the spindle snout tip, a third point where the first link couples to the chassis and a fourth point where the second link couples to the chassis.

4 . The suspension system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third link and a fourth link, wherein a first end of the third link is coupled to the chassis and a second end of the third link is coupled to the knuckle at a third point, and wherein a first end of the fourth link is coupled to the chassis and a second end of the fourth link is coupled to the knuckle at a fourth point;

wherein a distance between the third point and the wheel centerline point is approximately equal to a distance between the fourth point and the wheel centerline point.

5 . The suspension system of claim 4 , wherein the third point, the fourth point and the wheel centerline point define an isosceles triangle.

6 . The suspension system of claim 4 , wherein a second plane intersects the third point, the fourth point, the wheel centerline point, a fifth point where the third link couples to the chassis and a sixth point where the fourth link couples to the chassis.

7 . The suspension system of claim 4 , wherein the first and second links comprise upper links connected to the knuckle at or above a vertical center of the knuckle, and wherein the third and fourth links comprise lower links connected to the knuckle at or below the vertical center of the knuckle.

8 . The suspension system of claim 7 , wherein the third and fourth links collectively comprise an A-arm.

9 . The suspension system of claim 7 , wherein each of the links pivots or moves independently of the other links.

10 . The suspension system of claim 1 , wherein the first link pivots or moves independently of the second link.

11 . The suspension system of claim 1 , wherein the spindle snout tip travels back and forth along an initial spindle line and remains on or within 2.0 cm over a +/−30 degree steering range, of an initial spindle line as the knuckle is rotated.
