Abstract: A damper having a pressure tube, a piston, a hydraulic compression stop assembly, and a base valve assembly is provided. The piston is arranged in sliding engagement inside the pressure tube and divides the pressure tube into first and second working chambers. The hydraulic compression stop assembly is positioned in the second working chamber and includes a sleeve and a plunger. The sleeve extends from the base valve assembly to define a sleeve cavity. The plunger extends from the piston and/or piston rod and is designed to slide into the sleeve cavity when the piston approaches a fully compressed position of the damper. The base valve assembly includes intake passageways and an intake valve. The intake valve is constructed as a one-way valve that permits fluid to flow in one direction into the sleeve cavity through the intake passageways.

Abstract: A hydraulic port protection plug for insertion into a hydraulic port in a shock absorber assembly, where the hydraulic port protection plug comprises a cap portion with a disc-shaped end wall and a tubular body that extends from the cap portion to define an open-ended cavity. The open-ended cavity extends within the tubular body of the hydraulic port protection plug and is bounded at one end by the cap portion. A self-closing pressure relief opening extends through the cap portion and is arranged in fluid communication with the open-ended cavity. At least a portion of the cap portion is made of an elastic material that permits the self-closing pressure relief opening to open and close in response to pressure changes.

Abstract: A method of pressuring an accumulator including an end cap and a floating piston comprises positions the floating piston outside an inner volume of the end cap. Pressurized gas is supplied to the inner volume through an open end of the end cap. The floating piston is inserted through the open end and sealing engagement with the end cap to define a pressurized gas chamber within the end cap. The method further includes mechanically deforming the end cap to define a radially inwardly extending projection that restricts removal of the floating piston from the end cap.
