Here is a look into the rear suspension. I figured I could either use bushings or bearings for the pivoting point of the suspension. I am not sure what would transfer the least amount of noise to the body of the velomobile. I would think that polyurethane bushings would absorb the impact and disperse any road noise. I am not sure if friction is a critical factor with this part of the suspension. Its not a continuously moving part like the wheel bearings, which require an efficient low friction manner of spinning.
