An upper mounting system for a MacPherson strut includes a shock absorber mount and an air spring mount. The air spring mount is disposed coaxially around the shock absorber mount. A curved spherical interface of the air spring mount permits pivotal movement of the air spring such that it maintains a coaxial relationship with the shock absorber. The curved spherical interface also provides a seal for sealing the gas chamber of the air spring.

An internally sealed pivotal joint assembly for use on buses and other vehicles. The assembly includes an eyelet which has disposed therein a bearing socket for positioning a ball stud journal therein. The assembly includes a cap and a sealing ring provided to the socket in order to avoid ingestion of contaminants and obviate the need for repeated lubrication of the assembly.

A vibration damping device of the bushing-type includes a rigid outer housing and a rigid inner member, having a first side and a second side, which is substantially enclosed by the outer housing. A first vibration absorbing resilient body is interposed between the first side of the inner member and the outer housing. The first body is made of an elastomeric material having a first spring rate. A second vibration absorbing resilient body is interposed between the second side of the inner member and the outer housing. The second body is made of an elastomeric material having a second spring rate which is different from the first spring rate such that a deflection of the rigid inner member toward one of the first and second bodies will be resisted more strongly than a deflection of the rigid inner member toward the other of the first and second bodies. A first fluid chamber is defined in the second body and a second fluid chamber is defined between the second body and the outer housing. The second fluid chamber is in fluid communication with the first chamber through a first fluid passageway. A plate is moveably mounted in the first passageway for movement perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the device. The plate controls a flow of fluid through the first passageway to a varying extent depending upon the position of the plate in the first passageway. A second fluid passageway communicates with the first and second fluid chambers through a circuitous path.

A bushing assembly includes an inner sleeve, a bearing, an elastomeric bushing, and an outer sleeve. The inner sleeve includes two pieces. Each of the two pieces includes a distal end portion and a proximal end portion. Each of the proximal end portions includes an external shoulder having an outer radial face and an inner axial face. The bearing is rotationally mounted around the inner sleeve and captured between each of the inner axial faces of the external shoulders. The elastomeric bushing is disposed around the bearing and abutting the outer radial faces of the external shoulders. The outer sleeve is disposed around the elastomeric bushing and extending at least partially over the external shoulders.

An elastomeric mount comprises an elastomeric body defining a first annular void encircling an inner sleeve and extending in a first direction. The elastomeric body defines a second annular void extending in a second opposite direction. An outer sleeve surrounds and is spaced apart from the inner sleeve and directly engages the elastomeric body. A first ferrule is fixed to a first end of the inner sleeve, includes a stop face spaced apart from the elastomeric body, and is adapted to limit relative axial movement between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve in a first direction. A second ferrule is attached to the inner sleeve, includes a stop face spaced apart from the elastomeric body, and it adapted to limit relative movement between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve in a second opposite direction.

A hydraulic mount includes an inner tubular assembly, first and second elastomeric bodies and a fluid-track. The first and second elastomeric bodies are attached to the inner tubular assembly and cooperate to define a first fluid chamber. The second elastomeric body also defines a second fluid chamber that is in fluid communication with the first fluid chamber via the fluid-track. The fluid-track is attached to the inner tubular assembly partially disposed in the first fluid chamber. The fluid-track includes a central portion, a peripheral portion and a passage. The peripheral portion extends radially outwardly from a periphery of the central portion. The passage provides fluid communication between the first and second fluid chambers. Gaps are positioned between the peripheral portion and a wall of one of the first and second elastomeric bodies. The peripheral portion being configured to contact the wall during loading of the inner tubular assembly to restrict movement of the inner tubular assembly and the fluid-track.
