    Abstract: A vehicle damper assembly is disclosed. The damper includes a cylinder having an inner diameter (ID). A rod and a piston, the piston coupled to the rod and configured to divide the cylinder into a compression side and a rebound side. An electronic valve assembly including an electronic valve body coupled with the rod on the compression side of the piston. The electronic valve body having an electronic valve body outer diameter (OD). A boost valve having a boost valve body, a boost valve area located between the electronic valve body and the boost valve body, the boost valve having a boost valve OD. The boost valve OD is larger than the electronic valve body OD, such that the boost valve is configured to allow the electronic valve assembly to operate within said cylinder ID that is too large for the electronic valve body OD.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a manifold comprising a first check valve to meter fluid flow between a first chamber, a second chamber, and a third chamber. The first check valve meters fluid flow between one or more of the first chamber and the third chamber and the second chamber and the first chamber. A second check valve meters fluid flow between the second chamber, the third chamber, and a fourth chamber. The second check valve meters fluid flow between one or more of the fourth chamber and the third chamber and the second chamber and the fourth chamber.

    Abstract: An electronic valve interface for a shock assembly is disclosed. The electronic valve interface includes a housing, an outlet cover shim stack land and a threaded housing barrel. An electronic valve with a main flow path within a portion of the housing. An outlet cover covering an outlet of the electronic valve. An outlet cover shim stack having a first cracking pressure and working in conjunction with the outlet cover to provide a pressure to a working fluid. A blow-off piston having a blow-off flow path. A blow-off shim stack having a second cracking pressure different from the first cracking pressure. A threaded retaining nut operating in conjunction with the outlet cover shim stack land to provide a single retaining force for the outlet cover shim stack, the blow-off shim stack, and the blow-off piston located axially on the threaded housing barrel, where the outlet cover shim stack and the blow-off shim stack are opposed directional shim stacks.

    Abstract: A sway bar system is described. The sway bar system includes a sway bar having a first end and a second end. The sway bar system further includes a first electronically controlled damper link which is coupled to the first end of the sway bar. The first electronically controlled damper link is configured to be coupled a first location of a vehicle. The sway bar system also has a second link which is coupled to the second end of the sway bar. The second link is configured to be coupled a second location of the vehicle.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sway bar system comprising a damping link that couples a first end of a sway bar to a first location on a vehicle. The damping link is comprised of a body comprising a damping chamber and a reservoir. There is also a through shaft coupled to a piston, where the piston divides the chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber. A high-pressure line is fluidly coupled with the chamber and the reservoir and allows fluid to flow from the first chamber and the second chamber to the reservoir. A low-pressure line is fluidly coupled with the chamber and the reservoir and allows fluid to flow from the reservoir to the first chamber and the second chamber. The high-pressure line and the low-pressure line assist in self-centering the sway bar.
