DEFINITION

Classification: 280/124.153

Longitudinal control arm (i.e., suspension arm):

(under subclass 124.125) Subject matter including an elongated member extending between the vehicle body, chassis, or frame and the stub axle in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and constraining longitudinal movement of the stub axle.

(1) Note. Parallel longitudinal control or suspension arms having terminal attachment above and below a stub axle are included herein.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

124.128+, for a longitudinally extending swinging support arm suspension.

124.137, for a suspension including upper and lower lateral control arms having aligned outboard ends and including a torsion bar which may function to constrain forward and rearward displacement of the stub axle in addition to providing a springing action through twist deformation.

124.148+, for a suspension having a transversely extending member, a vertically extending strut, and a longitudinally extending control arm or strut.

124.152, for a suspension including a lateral control arm and an attachment to a stabilizer bar wherein the stabilizer bar may function to constrain forward and rearward displacement of the stub axle in addition to providing a springing action through twist deformation.
