Abstract: A damper assembly includes a rod elongated along an axis. The damper assembly includes a body supported by the rod, the body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The body and the rod define a passage between the body and the rod, the passage extending from the first surface of the body to the second surface of the body.

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: Hydraulic port protection plugs for insertion into hydraulic ports in a shock absorber to prevent contaminants from entering the shock absorber and residual oil from draining out through the hydraulic ports during storage, shipping, and handling of the shock absorber. The hydraulic port protection plugs comprise a tubular body and a pierceable seal that is configured to receive an inboard portion of a hydraulic fitting. The pierceable seal is designed so that the inboard portion of the hydraulic fitting may be inserted through the pierceable seal of the hydraulic port protection plug and into the hydraulic port in the shock absorber such that the hydraulic port protection plug does not have to be removed and seals the hydraulic fitting within the hydraulic port in the shock absorber in an installed position.
