ARB DISCONNECT SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED ROLL GRADIENT AND UNDERSTEER CHARACTERISTICS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18249183 titled 'ARB DISCONNECT SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED ROLL GRADIENT AND UNDERSTEER CHARACTERISTICS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a suspension assembly for a vehicle suspension system. - The assembly includes a lower control arm, an upper control arm, a damper, and a drop link. - The lower control arm is connected to the vehicle chassis through two bushing assemblies that pivot along an axis parallel to the vehicle's centerline. - The upper control arm is also connected to the chassis. - The damper is connected to the lower control arm and helps dampen the pivoting motion of the control arms relative to the chassis. - The drop link connects the lower control arm to an anti-roll bar, which has a disconnect assembly. - The disconnect assembly translates roll motion into a force exerted on the lower control arm in a direction parallel to the axis.
Original Abstract Submitted
A suspension assembly for a vehicle suspension system may include a lower control arm, an upper control arm, a damper, and a drop link. The lower control arm may be operably coupled to a chassis of a vehicle via a first bushing assembly and a second bushing assembly. The first and second bushing assemblies may each pivot about an axis substantially parallel to a longitudinal centerline of the vehicle. The upper control arm may be operably coupled to the chassis. The damper may be operably coupled to the lower control arm to dampen pivoting motion of the upper and lower control arms relative to the chassis. The drop link may operably couple the lower control arm and an anti-roll bar that includes a disconnect assembly to translate a roll motion into a force exerted on the lower control arm in a direction substantially parallel to the axis.
