Abstract:
An oscillation joint for a chain driven independent suspension is disclosed. The oscillation joint may include a stationary frame member configured to support a first end of a drive chain. The oscillation joint may also include an oscillating frame member configured to support a second end of the drive chain and rotate about the stationary frame member. The oscillation joint may further include a first thrust washer located between a first surface of the stationary frame member and a substantially parallel first surface of the oscillating frame member. A first wear sleeve may be located substantially perpendicular to the first thrust washer.
