VEHICLE SUSPENSION ABSTRACT A retractable tag axle assembly, including a hydraulic cylinder for up-and-down reciprocation of the tandem axle, is provided with structure for protecting the cylinder against damage from shock forces imparted to the suspension spring through the ground-engaging wheels. The structure includes a crank secured to one end of the spring and coupled with the hydraulic cylinder at a point inter- mediate the ends of the spring each that the full length of the latter is available for up-and-down flexure, yet the overall length of the assembly, is not increased over that of conventional tag axle assemblies. Ball-and-socket type mountings between the ends of the cylinder, and the frame and crank respectively, permit canting of the cylin- der to avoid the adverse effects of twisting of the crank relative to the frame.
