Abstract:
A resilient leg as part of an attachment for a wheel of a motor vehicle, comprising a piston rod; (4) a piston attached to said piston rod and traveling into and out of a housing; a vehicle chassis; said piston rod having an outer end attached to said chassis; two separate pivotal bearings in said housing and fixed to said housing for maintaining said piston rod in radial alignment; said housing having an interior divided by said piston into two fluid charged chambers; said piston rod extending through both ends of the leg and being maintained in radial alignment at both ends of the leg by said two separated bearings, moments of force exerted on the leg being transmitted from said piston rod to said housing with minimum radial forces, alignment and sealing of said piston rod having minimum friction for travel of said piston rod into and out of said housing, said piston rod transmitting only substantially minimum angular moments.
