A damper assembly includes a housing having a tubular shape defining a main chamber extending along a center axis. A piston is movable along the center axis and divides the main chamber into a compression chamber and a rebound chamber. The piston includes a piston body defining a frequency-adaptive orifice (FAO) passage providing fluid communication between the compression chamber and the rebound chamber. The piston includes an FAO valve assembly having an FAO cover member configured to block fluid flow therethrough in response to application of a low-frequency excitation, and allowing fluid flow through the FAO passage in response to application of a high-frequency excitation. The FAO valve assembly also includes a tappet configured to translate relative to the piston body to bias the FAO cover member to selectively cover the FAO passage in response to the application of the low-frequency excitation.

A fluid damping structure includes first and second annular elements, first and second inner seals, a first outer seal, a damping chamber, a supply plenum, a fill port, and a plurality of fluid passages.

The first outer seal forms a sealing interface between the first and second annular elements. The first outer seal is disposed radially outward from the first and second inner seals. The damping chamber is defined by the first and second annular elements and the first and second inner seals. The supply plenum is disposed contiguous with an axial side of the damping chamber and extends from the second inner seal to the first outer seal. The fill port is in fluid communication with the supply plenum and a source of damping fluid.
