The invention relates to a shock absorbing assembly including a steering assembly for a vehicle, such as a mobile crane, and consisting of a shock absorbing leg including an outer tube securable to the frame of the vehicle, a wheel carrier telescopically extensible downwards from the outer tube by a piston/cylinder unit, and a steering assembly for the wheel carrier. The steering assembly includes a steering input coupler at the top end of the shock absorbing leg for transmitting steering forces to the wheel carrier through the piston/cylinder unit.
