Disclosed herein is a system of steering and suspension linkages for a beam-type solid axle arrangement, the steering system designed to operate in conjunction with the suspension system without bumpsteer throughout suspension travel. Accurate steering throughout suspension travel is satisfied with mechanical linkages that include a unique flexible joint-mounted bellcrank. The suspension system comprises two pairs of links, each pair occupying opposite sides of a solid axle, this opposed configuration offering the axle centering capability of without the packaging constraints of a triangulated 4-link suspension system, thereby facilitating its installation on production-based front solid axle vehicles.
