Patent ID: 8448970

Claim:
A suspension system for a steerable front wheel of a vehicle comprising two substantially identical elongate members that extend forwardly and downwardly toward and along opposite sides of a lower rear quadrant of the front wheel, with an open front end region of each elongate member pivotally mounting a separate associated elongate arm that extends upwardly and is pressed against by a separate coil spring that extends forwardly from the open front end region of an associated one of the elongate members to cushion over-the-road vibration that may be imparted to a front wheel axle which extends between and rigidly connects the elongate arms, wherein each of the elongate members carries an associated threaded fastener that extends through an associated one of the coil springs, and each threaded fastener carries an associated threaded nut that can be adjusted to adjust the compression of the associated coil spring, and wherein each of the elongate members is tubular along its full length, and portions of each of the elongate members extending rearwardly from the associated threaded fastener is substantially filled by an associated elongate rod element.
