Zusammenfassung:In an independent wheel suspension assembly using a parallelogrammic linkage between the vehicle infrastructure and the wheel mounting member, a damper or shock absorber is mounted in a substantially horizontal position between an anchor point on the vehicle infrastructure and a levering bracket extending from the upper or lower arm of the parallelogrammic linkage. The horizontal placement of the damper lowers the overall profile of the vehicle and provides a convenient way for adjusting its elevation in relation to the wheels without affecting the damping characteristics of the suspension. The invention is particularly applicable to remotely controlled model racing cars.
