The disclosure relates to bearing bushes for a motor vehicle, in which the bearing bushing may be switchable between a first and a second stiffness stage.

The bearing bushing may include a first elastomer ring, which is arranged at least indirectly on an outer circumferential surface of a bolt, and a second elastomer ring, which is arranged radially between a first and second sleeve. The second sleeve may be arranged radially between the first and the second elastomer rings. In order to change the stiffness stage of the bearing bushing, the two sleeves may be connectable to one another by at least one ring which comes into contact with said sleeves at an end side.

A wheel suspension for the rear axle of a vehicle has a wheel carrier for fastening a rear wheel. A link system including at least two links is fastened on the wheel carrier to enable fastening on a vehicle body of the vehicle. The wheel carrier has a link portion for direct or indirect mounting on the vehicle body of the vehicle.

The present disclosure provides a suspension assembly system for use in a vehicle or moving object where vibration reduction and isolation is desired. The suspension assembly system includes at least two support arms connected by a linkage and a pivoting bracket. One support arm attaches to the linkage at a connection point and the linkage also attaches to the pivoting bracket at a second connection point. The second support arm is attached to a second location on the pivoting bracket. A shock absorbing assembly is also attached to the pivoting bracket near the second connection point providing an angular connection between the support arms and the shock assembly. This allows the combined movement of the support arms through actuation of a shock assembly and its connection to the pivoting bracket inducing angular rotation of the pivoting bracket. This creates a new path line for a shock mount to move independently of the support arms and improves the progressiveness of the shock assembly. The detailed description and the drawings support and describe the disclosure and provides the best modes and other embodiments for carrying out the claims. However, the scope of the disclosure is solely defined by the claims.

The invention relates to a link element (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising a connecting rod (2) and a coupling element (3) for coupling the connecting rod (2) to a subassembly of the motor vehicle, wherein the coupling element (3) comprises a housing (5) with a passage (6) through which the connecting rod (2) extends into the housing (5); characterized by a stop plate (7) for supporting forces transferred to the coupling element (3) by the connecting rod (2).

At least a portion of a detecting portion of a front wheel rotation speed detector is supported on one front telescopic element of a shock absorbing device and is positioned in, as viewed in the direction of a wheel axis, an area defined by a front imaginary line which passes a front end of the shock absorbing device and which is parallel to a steering axis and a rear imaginary line which passes a rear end of the shock absorbing device and which is parallel to the steering axis in a perpendicular or substantially perpendicular direction to the wheel axis and the steering axis, an area located inwards of an outer shape of a wheel, and an area which is located outside an area defined between the front and rear telescopic elements.

A vehicle suspension assembly includes a vehicle frame rail, a slide rail extending longitudinally along the vehicle frame rail and slidably adjustable thereto, a support bracket extending downwardly from the slide rail, a trailing arm pivotably coupled to the support bracket, a spring member positioned between the trailing arm and the slide rail, and an elastically resilient coupling arrangement coupling the slide rail to the vehicle frame rail, wherein the coupling member is configured to elastically deform during vertical displacement of the vehicle frame rail with respect to the slide rail.

An IFS assembly having a single lower control arm having an inboard end pivotally secured to a chassis support structure, an air spring supported by an air spring seat relative to the lower control arm, a strut having an upper end pivotally secured to the chassis support structure and a lower end coupled to the lower control arm outboard end, and a steering knuckle fixed to the strut lower end, the steering knuckle disposed below the lower air spring seat and whose rotative movement about the strut axis is unconfined by proximity between the steering knuckle and the lower air spring seat, whereby available wheel cut is maximized. Also an IFS module including right and left side IFS assemblies and adapted for installation into a vehicle.

A structure includes a suspension module including a suspension frame, a stabilizer bar provided to face one side of the suspension frame, a fixing portion including one side fixedly coupled to the suspension frame and configured to fix the stabilizer bar relative to the suspension frame, and a power electronics (PE) module fixedly coupled to one side of the fixing portion.

A structure includes a suspension module including a suspension frame, and a stabilizer bar provided to face one side of the suspension frame, in which the stabilizer bar includes a first side stabilizer bar provided to face a first side region of the suspension frame, and a second side stabilizer bar provided to face a second side region of the suspension frame, and in which the first side stabilizer bar and the second side stabilizer bar are provided to be attachable to or detachable from each other.

A ball joint configured for detecting movement of a ball stud with a simple configuration, determining stability and behavior of a vehicle, and determining the presence or absence of abnormalities in parts, and a vehicle including the same, may include: a ball stud including a spherical head and a rod integrally formed with the head; a bearing formed in a shape of a tube open to first and second sides thereof and at least partially surrounding the head; a case formed in a shape of a tube open to first and second sides thereof and at least partially surrounding an external side of the bearing; a cap assembled in the case to close an opening on the first side of the case; and an optical sensor mounted on the cap facing the head.
