Front wheel suspension with transversal leaf spring
DRIVE
August 1, 2001
The front axle consists of a blade spring (1), extending across the vehicle, and with each end linked by a ball joint (2) to a wheel support pivot (3). The blade is fixed to the body (8) of the vehicle, at the rear by two fixing points (14) and at the forward end by two other fixing points, which are formed by elastic links, which have high stiffness in the transverse sense and a degree of flexibility in its longitudinal sense.
