Abstract

A vehicle wheel suspension that includes a transversely extending leaf spring 22 with free ends that terminate adjacent to wheel support knuckles 16, has a flexible stirrup 30 interconnecting the free end of the leaf spring to the wheel knuckle. Thus the sprung mass is transferred to the wheel by the flexible stirrup, which has near zero stiffness in the flexible planes of the stirrup. A method of compensating for stirrup vertical sidewall length variances is possible by inserting shims between the layers of the stirrups. The stirrup 30 is made of elastomeric material with continuous filamentary reinforcement.
