Abstract

See full text

The present torque reaction damper for a drive axle is a series of embodiments of installations and attachment bracketry for use in dirt track late model (DTLM) racing vehicles. Such cars are set up to provide relatively large vertical deflections of the solid rear drive axle, to drive the inboard wheel downwardly against the track surface for better traction and to shift the axle angularly to promote oversteer through the turns when the throttle is applied. The present torque reaction damper solves the problem of sudden 'chassis drop' and its destabilizing effect, when the throttle is suddenly closed at the end of a straight before entering a turn. The present damper comprises a shock absorber installed either forwardly or rearwardly between the 'bird cage' axle bracket and the chassis and serves to cushion the movement of the chassis when the throttle is closed, thereby facilitating car stability and control.
