Abstract:
A link mechanism, such as a panhard rod or the like, has a rod section and a collar section at each of its two ends. One collar section is supported on the case side bracket through a bushing. The other collar section is supported on the body side bracket through a bushing. A mass is provided at each collar section for limiting vibrations. Each mass is configured so that its principal inertia axis coincides with the principal elastic axis of its bushing in at least one direction of the bending vibration mode of the rod section so that the nodes of the bending vibration mode of the panhard rod also coincide with the principal inertia axis of the mass and thus the principal elastic axis of the bushing. This significantly dampens the vibrations imparted to the link mechanism.
