The model of a carriage suspension built using LEGO® pieces.

For one of my projects, I needed a carriage suspension. This is my version of it.
I have added the following changes from the previous version.
First, I redesigned the top mount to make it easier to put on/take off the vehicle body.
Second, I replaced "PLATE 1X1, W/ 1.5 PLATE 1X2, UPWARDS" parts with pairs of parts "PLATE 1X1, W/ 1.5 PLATE 1X1, UPWARDS" (bottom) and "ANGULAR PLATE 1,5 TOP 1X2 1/2" (top) with the same purpose of preventing the rubber rings from popping off.
Note that due to the nature of the design, these parts have a horizontal offset from each other that is not a multiple of the size of any LEGO® parts. I was unable to solve this problem.
Third, I added side sills, partly for beauty, partly to hide the aforementioned parts. Finding sill parts in a color to match the top of the hubs (medium azur) was quite a challenge. I took them from set 60362 Car Wash.
