Definitions

  • the force and amount of travel of the wheel assembly and its upright (#1) is relayed via the articulated joint (#2) into the upper control arm (#3), and then to the primary lever by the vertical link member (pull rod [#5]), can then be transmitted in a horizontal path by the opposing side of the primary lever.
  • the force and amount of travel can then either be transmitted directly into a horizontally oriented springing assembly (#10)... or be further transmitted toward the chassis center line by a horizontally oriented link member (#11).
