摘要:
Strut spacers are described that include at least a male component comprising an externally threaded surface and a female component comprising an internally threaded surface. Rotation of the male component or the female component adjusts the height of the strut spacer prior to installation within the motor vehicle. The strut spacer can optionally include a locking ring to lock the height of the strut spacer before installation.

A cam adjustable shim assembly includes a bushing defining a bushing opening. The bushing opening extends along a first axis. The cam adjustable shim assembly further includes a cam disposed in the bushing opening and a bolt at least partially disposed within the cam. The bolt extends along a second axis. The second axis is offset relative to the first axis such that the bushing opening is eccentric relative to the bolt. The bolt is fixed to the cam such that rotation of the bolt about the second axis causes the cam to rotate within the bushing about the first axis.

An adjustment bolt for adjusting the camber angle in a vehicle. The adjustment bolt includes a head, a neck, a lobe, and a threaded portion. The head is configured to provide a gripping surface for a tightening tool (e.g., pliers, wrench). The neck extends eccentrically from the bottom surface of the head and the neck has a first diameter and a first centerline. The lobe extends eccentrically outward from a bottom surface of the neck and the lobe has a second diameter and a second centerline. The threaded portion extends eccentrically outward from a bottom surface of the lobe and has a third centerline. The first centerline, the second centerline, and the third centerline are different from one another. Additionally, the lobe diameter is substantially the same as an aperture diameter for an adjustment aperture in a knuckle operably connected to the vehicle.

A supplementary vehicle spring assembly for a leaf spring of a vehicle is provided, the leaf spring defining a fixed end and a free end. The supplementary vehicle spring assembly comprises a first tension spring arrangement fitted to the fixed end of the leaf spring, a second tension spring arrangement fitted to the free end of the leaf spring, and a bracket arrangement proximate an axle of the vehicle, the bracket arrangement connecting the first and second tension spring arrangements. The first and second tension spring arrangements each comprise a connector arm for securing the arrangements to the respective ends of the leaf spring, a first connector rod extending from the connector arm and being secured to a first end of at least one tension spring, and a second connector rod extending from a second end of the tension spring, the second connector rods securing the first and second tension spring arrangements to opposite ends of the bracket arrangement.
摘要:
An air spring spacer for use in mounting an associated air spring in spaced relation to an associated vehicle component. The air spring spacer includes a spacer body, a first indexing feature, and a second indexing feature complementary to the first indexing feature. The indexing features providing for self-alignment of the spacer in a predetermined orientation upon the application of an axial force. A kit is also described.
摘要:
A leading or trailing arm vehicle suspension system comprised of a fabricated vehicle axle and a fully integrated beam casting providing bending stiffness to control axle windup and longitudinal stiffness to control axle position is disclosed. The beam casting is attached to the vehicle axle with a thru-bolt connection. The beam casting includes rack and pinion mounting attachment holes and also includes other built-in features providing efficient transfer of loads into the vehicle axle.
摘要:
A control arm for vehicle suspension systems has first and second rigid arm plates having first and second apertures extend laterally through opposing faces of the body adjacent opposite ends thereof. The arm plates are disposed in a mutually parallel, laterally spaced apart and aligned relationship. The first apertures are generally concentric and the second apertures are generally concentric. First and second spacers each have a rigid body with opposite ends and a central bushing aperture extending therebetween. The spacers are disposed between the arm plates adjacent opposite ends thereof. The central bushing aperture of the spacers is positioned generally concentrically with the apertures. Also included is a related method for making vehicle suspension links from ultra high strength steel.

A stabilizer bar for an automotive vehicle includes a stabilizer bar, and a generally ring shaped first mechanical stop mounted onto and extending about an outer diameter of the stabilizer bar. The first mechanical stop is crimped in place onto the stabilizer bar such that the first mechanical stop is positioned within a groove formed within the outer diameter of the stabilizer bar as the first mechanical stop is crimped onto the stabilizer bar, whereby the first mechanical stop is retained within the groove to prevent movement of the mechanical stop along the stabilizer bar.
