Method of mounting at least one guiding insert between two coaxial tubes including mounting the at least one guiding insert onto an inner tube, wherein the at least one guiding insert includes an outer diameter, inserting the inner tube and the at least one guiding insert into an outer tube up to a selected position, wherein a clearance is maintained between a portion of the outer diameter of the at least one guiding insert and the inner diameter of the outer tube at the selected position, and securing the at least one guiding insert to the outer tube.

A trailed vehicle has at least one beam axle (but perhaps two with or without load sharing coupling) with the wheels independently suspended on leading or trailing arm members. The axle is mounted to the chassis or body so that in bump or positive roll conditions when a wheel on one side and the body or chassis move closer together, the axle moves forwardly at that side resulting in the steering of the wheels in a direction to counter the effects of the displacing force acting on the trailed vehicle and thus undesirable effects exerted by the trailed vehicle on the towing vehicle. A ''''bolt-on'''' suspension unit has a torsionally resilient beam axle, a primary torsion suspension for the arm members and a secondary suspension allowing forward movement of either side of the axle about one of a pair of transversely aligned pivots in reaction to torque imposed on that side of the axle under bump or positive roll conditions.

A suspension of the type having the weight of the vehicle supported by torsion springs. A rigid shaft is disposed longitudinally of the vehicle adjacent each wheel. Three torsion springs are disposed in longitudinally spaced relationship about each shaft and each spring has an annulus of elastomer as the yieldable portion. Each spring has a rigid outer shell received over the elastomer annulus. A rigid arm is attached to the outer shell of the end springs to connect them resiliently in parallel. Additional arms are rigidly cantilevered from each end of each shaft. In one form of the suspension, the free ends of the arms from the shaft are pivotally connected through shackles to the vehicle frame and the free ends of the arms from the springs secured to the wheel axle. In another form of the suspension, the outer shells of the springs are secured to the vehicle frame and the free end of the arms from the shaft pivotally connected to the axle of the wheel. The center spring has the free end of the arm attached to its outer shell secured to the wheel axle in the first-mentioned form and secured to the vehicle frame in the latter form. Adjustment means are provided on the attachment of the center spring arm for preloading the center spring.
摘要:
Rear assembly for motor vehicle, of the type comprising independent wheels and trailing suspension arms, wherein each suspension arm has fixed thereto a shaft member extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, said shaft members being connected at their outer ends to the suspended part of the vehicle and being interconnected at their inner ends.

An elastomeric suspension spring (14) usable for bearing the load of a motor vehicle, which exhibits both reduced creep and improved endurance in torsion and a suspension joint comprising this spring consists of a cross-linked rubber composition based on (phr: parts by weight per hundred parts of diene elastomer(s)): natural rubber in a quantity equal to or greater than 60 phr, a filler, and a sulfur cross-linking system comprising at least one cross-linking accelerator, and is such that said filler comprises, in a mass fraction greater than 55%: a carbon black, whose grade varies from 600 to 900, said composition comprising in this case a total quantity of filler of from 10 to 60 phr, or an inert white filler, said composition comprising in this case a total quantity of filler of from 10 to 30 phr, the cross-linking system comprising 0.7 to 1.2 phr of sulfur and being such that the mass ratio of sulfur to cross-linking accelerator(s) varies from 0.15 to 2.70.
摘要:
A variable rate bushing passively controls the stiffness of a stabilizer bar. During normal vehicle operation, the stabilizer bar is compliant. As twist increase, the resistance increases. In one embodiment, the variable rate bushing includes at least one void which compresses as the vehicle turns. As the stabilizer bar axially twists, the void compresses and the rate of the bushing increases, reducing axial twist and increasing stiffness of the stabilizer bar. In one embodiment, the voids are teardrop shaped, arc shaped, or bone shaped. Alternatively, the bushing includes an inner layer of softer material and an outer layer of harder material to control stabilizer bar stiffness. Also, the bushing may include a molded insert made of a hard material inserted into a softer material to control the stiffness of the stabilizer bar.

In a vehicle banking arm suspension structure the superstructure supported end of each banking arm employing a flexible torsion spring member and multiturn cushions, is carried by an intermediate mounting member which serves to simultaneously windup and bring under pressure all resilient members placed within the banking arm, preferably assembled in advance of connecting the mounting member to the superstructure.
