Abstract

The support is solid with two longitudinals, curved upwards at least one of which is extended forward by shock absorbing section (8). The support is rigidly connected to the shock absorber. This system is used at each side, and there is a detachable connection near a bend (11) in the support, inclined downwards towards the rear. This connection works with the end of a steering cross support (4). The steering mechanism is solid with the front and rear parts (21, 22) of a steering column.
