Suspension system

Suspension systems for vehicles are described that allow the suspension reaction to vertical loads to be decoupled to suspension movement in reaction to horizontal forces. Contemplated suspension systems comprise a knuckle assembly carrying at least a wheel and bearing assembly for contacting the ground at an edge of the vehicle. A first link connects a first rotatable joint to the knuckle assembly and to a chassis or subframe on the vehicle. A second link connects a second rotatable joint to the knuckle assembly and to the chassis or subframe on the vehicle. A spring and damper link connects the first link to the second link, and a spring damper system comprising a shock assembly that is mounted or coupled to the first link off a center axis of the first link.
