A vehicle suspension system having a pair of hanger brackets. A first intermediate bracket dependent from a vehicle, a second intermediate bracket a pair of control arms, and a torque rod. One end of each control arm is pivotally mounted on a corresponding hanger bracket. Another end of each control arm, is pivotally attached to an axle seat. The torque arm is pivotally mounted between the first and second intermediate brackets. One end of a stabilizer bar is mounted to each control arm to increase the suspensions roll stability, and resistance to lateral deflection. In one embodiment, the stabilizer bar extends through a hole formed in each control arm, and in other embodiments, flanges extend outwardly from the stabilizer bar adjacent respective control arms for mounting the stabilizer bar to the control arms. In yet another embodiment, the stabilizer bar includes a pair of telescopically engaged square hollow tubes, with the inner tube offset with respect to the outer tube, and a plurality of bushings extend longitudinally therebetween. The pivotal connections on either end of the control arm include a flexible bushing formed with a hole, and a pivot pin extending through the hole.
