A suspension and steering subassembly for a heavy truck is provided including a subframe. The subframe includes first and second side members extending substantially in the direction of vehicle travel and first and second cross members extending substantially perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel. The first and second cross members are integral with the first and second side members such that the subframe is a unitary member. The first and second side members and the first and second cross members are further configured to receive first and second lower suspension control arms, first and second upper suspension control arms, and a portion of the steering linkage for the vehicle. The subframe may further be configured to receive a steering gear and one or more strut rods to provide fore/aft support to the subframe.

Ce sous-cadre comporte un premier et un second élément latéral se prolongeant sensiblement dans le sens de déplacement du véhicule, ainsi qu'un premier et un second élément transversal se prolongeant de manière sensiblement perpendiculaire par rapport au sens de déplacement du véhicule. Lesdits premier et second éléments transversaux sont solidaires desdits premier et second éléments latéraux de façon que le sous-cadre forme un élément unitaire. De plus, ces éléments latéraux et ces éléments transversaux sont conçus pour recevoir un premier et un second bras inférieur de commande de suspension, un premier et un second bras supérieur de commande de suspension, ainsi qu'une partie de la timonerie de direction dudit véhicule. Ledit sous-cadre peut également être conçu pour recevoir un mécanisme de direction et un ou plusieurs tiges de réaction fournissant un support avant/arrière audit sous-cadre.
