Abstract: A clamp-on-post fastener includes a base section and a sleeve section including a first end connected with the base section, a second end, and an intermediate portion defining a center axis extending between the first end and the second end. The sleeve section includes an outer surface, a central passage having an inner surface, and a plurality of tooth members that project radially inwardly from the inner surface. The clamp-on-post fastener includes a slot extending through the base section and the sleeve section substantially parallel to the center axis forming a first fastener portion and a second fastener portion that are configured to be brought together to engage a substrate.

Abstract: A height adjustable top mount for adjusting a ride height of a vehicle comprising includes a top plate, a worm wheel, a core, and worm gear. The top plate is configured to mount to a body of the vehicle and movable between a first position and a second position. The worm wheel is received in the top plate and includes an inner wheel surface and an outer wheel surface. The core is received within the worm wheel and helically meshed to the inner wheel surface of the worm wheel. The worm gear is meshed to the outer wheel surface of the worm wheel. Rotation of the worm gear drives rotation of the worm wheel, rotation of the worm wheel simultaneously moves the top plate vertically relative to the core, and movement of the top plate adjusts the ride height of the vehicle in a corresponding direction.
