DESCRIPTION
Numbers in parentheses refer to Fig. 1.
Each axle is coupled to the chassis by three rubber
bushed leading or trailing control links (5) which
provide longitudinal restraint. Lateral restraint is by
transverse panhard rods (31).
Loads acting on the centre and rear axles are balanced by
centrally pivoting equalizer beams (4) with rubber cushioning
