Abstract

A connection assembly (42) for coupling a trailing arm (30A) to a mounting location of a vehicle (22) is provided. The connection assembly (42) includes a connection body (44), a first attachment member (46), a second attachment member (48), a first bushing assembly (70), and a second bushing assembly (72). A first attachment member (46) is disposed in the connecting body (44) and defines a first axis (50). A second attachment member (48) is disposed in the connecting body (44) and defines a second axis (58). The first bushing assembly (70) is disposed in the connecting body (44) and supports the first attachment member (46) in the connecting body (44). The second bushing assembly (72) is disposed in the connecting body (44) and supports the second attachment member (48) in the connecting body (44). The first axis (50) of the first attachment member (46) and the second axis (58) of the second attachment member (48) are spaced by an offset distance and the first axis (50) and the second axis (58) ) in different non-parallel directions.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Invention Patent Application No. 14 / 719,421 filed May 22, 2015.
