Abstract: A hollow vehicle suspension beam (1) has opposed side walls formed with recesses (11) in which an axle wrap (2) is located and secured by welded jointing (12, 13) internally and externally of the opposed side walls to provide a strong joint between the beam and axle wrap. The beam may comprise at least one component (5, 6) of a generally U-shaped section the opposed limbs of which provide at least part of the opposed side walls of the beam, and the mouth of the section provides an access opening into the interior of the beam for the internal welded jointing (12) to be made at the axle wrap. One embodiment has the beam comprised of two of the U-shaped components (5, 6) disposed with their mouths opening in opposite directions to provide access to the interior of the beam for the internal welded jointing to be made at the axle wrap (2) before the mouths are closed by closure components (15, 16). Another embodiment has the opposed side walls formed in combination by the opposed limbs of a U-shaped component and the space between the plate components being closed off by closure components after the internal welded joint have been made.

Abstract: Opposite ends of a torsion beam are connected to left and right trailing arms, and a spindle which supports a wheel is secured to a spindle support plate which is welded to each of the left and right trailing arms. Bent flanges which are formed in the outer periphery of a body of the spindle support plate, are fitted to the outer periphery of the end of trailing arm and secured by welding. With this arrangement, thermal warp of the body of the spindle support plate which supports spindle can be prevented, and not only can the mounting precision of the spindle be improved, but also the thickness of the spindle support plate can be reduced to reduce the weight.

Abstract: Bands fixedly attached to the outer surface of a stabilizer bar prevent lateral movement of the stabilizer bar during turning. As the stabilizer bar rotates in a pair of bushings during turning, the stabilizer bar tends to move laterally. One of the bands contacts the side of one of the bushings, preventing further lateral movement of the stabilizer bar. In one embodiment, the band includes an attachment portion on a first end and a notched portion on an opposing second end. The attachment portion expands after entry through the notched portion to secure the band to the stabilizer bar. Alternatively, the band includes an arm on a first end which engages a protrusion on a second end to secure the band to the stabilizer bar. In a third embodiment, a first inclined edge of a first portion of the band is slidingly engaged into a second inclined edge of a second portion of the band to secure the band to the stabilizer bar. A protrusion is deflected into a notch to secure the edges together. In a fourth embodiment, a bracket including apertures is positioned on the band such that flanges on opposing ends of the band are received in the apertures. The flanges are deflected to retain the bracket and secure the band to the stabilizer bar. In a fifth embodiment, the band includes a pair of opposing curved ends which are crushed after engagement to secure the band around the stabilizer bar.

Abstract: An accessory for coupling the A-arm of a vehicle to its torsion bar through a rigid member that relocates the relative position of the two components by a predetermined offset distance that raises the torsion bar with respect to the ground. As a result, the position of the torsion bar is elevated and the ground clearance of the vehicle's undercarriage is increased. By rigidly positioning the coupling mechanism between the A-arm and the torsion bar so that the distance of the point of attachment from the A-arm's pivot point in the frame remains substantially the same, the torsional effect of the torsion bar is retained without material change. Therefore, the safety and driving characteristics of the vehicle are not noticeably altered.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle-use stabilizer bar (1) bushing is provided. The bushing (1) includes a generally cylindrical rubber-made elastic body (3) having formed therein in the center thereof an insertion hole (2) through which a stabilizer bar (200) is axially inserted. The above stabilizer bar bushing (1) is to be fixed with a mount bracket (103) to the body of the automotive vehicle with the insertion hole (2) being directed laterally of the vehicle body. The mount bracket (103) is applied on the outer circumference of the stabilizer bar bushing (1) and fastened to the vehicle body to secure the stabilizer bar bushing (1) to the vehicle body. Thus, the stabilizer bar bushing (1) will attenuate vibration by a portion thereof between the stabilizer bar (200) and vehicle body while allowing rotation and torsion of the stabilizer bar (200) in the insertion hole (2). A canvas or Teflon cloth (4) is attached to the inner surface of the insertion hole (2) with such a bonding strength that even as the stabilizer bar (200) repeatedly gives rotation and torsion thereof to the bushing (1), the canvas or Teflon cloth (4) will not be separated from the rubber-made elastic body (3).

Abstract: A connecting component connecting two members, such as a suspension component and a vehicle component, dampens vibrations and produces springing forces. The connecting component is formed by a steel strip including a plurality of holes. A sealing strip is secured to the upper surface of the steel strip to contain fluid for damping, and springing strips are secured to the upper surface of the steel strip to provide for springing forces. The steel strip is rolled to form the connecting component, trapping the fluid between the sealing strips. As the connecting component is a linking element with several degrees of freedom, different springing and damping rates are possible at each degree of freedom.
