Abstract:
1. A suspension assembly for a vehicle comprising: a front rubber torsion axle assembly with an outer housing; a front spindle swing arm; wherein the front rubber torsion axle assembly further comprises: a rear rubber torsion axle assembly with an outer housing; a rear spindle swing arm; wherein the rear rubber torsion axle assembly further comprises: a front lever adapted to be pivotally attached to the vehicle at a front lever pivot point, wherein the outer housing of the front rubber torsion axle assembly is rigidly mounted to the front lever; a rear lever adapted to be pivotally attached to the vehicle at a rear lever pivot point, wherein the outer housing of the rear rubber torsion axle assembly is rigidly mounted to the rear lever, wherein with respect to a normal forward traveling direction of the vehicle, the front lever is mounted forward of the rear lever; a rigid control arm pivotally connected to the front lever at a front control arm pivot point and pivotally connected to the rear lever at a rear control arm pivot point, wherein the suspension assembly is configured so that when the suspension assembly encounters a force causing the front lever to rotate in a front rotational direction about the front lever pivot point, the rigid control arm is configured to cause the rear lever to rotate about the rear lever pivot point in a rear rotational direction that is opposite the front rotational direction; and wherein with respect to the normal forward traveling direction of the vehicle, the front lever pivot point is forward of the front control arm pivot point and the forward spindle pivot, and wherein the rear lever pivot point is forward of the rear control arm pivot point and the rear spindle pivot.
