Techniques regarding a vehicle suspension assembly are provided herein. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can regard an apparatus that can comprise a locking plate that can be located between a first spring and a second spring in a first direction. Also, the locking plate can comprise a locking pin. Moreover, the apparatus can comprise a locking sleeve that can surround the first spring and the locking plate. The locking sleeve can comprise a first channel that traverses the locking sleeve in the first direction. The locking sleeve can further comprise a second channel that is connected to the first channel and traverses the locking sleeve in a second direction.

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.

A suspension thrust bearing device providing a lower support cap, an upper bearing cap and at least one bearing arranged between the caps. The upper bearing cap includes an outer skirt radially surrounding the lower support cap. The lower support cap having at least one annular deflector flange extending towards the outer skirt of the upper bearing cap while remaining radially spaced apart from the outer skirt, the deflector flange having a lower inclined surface extending obliquely downwards.

A suspension for a vehicle is configured such that, even in a situation of departing from a range (spring freedom height) in which a coil spring may be tensioned as a rebound state is added in a full rebound state, a lower end of the coil spring is coupled to a spring pad coupled to a leaf spring and continuously supported, so that the separation of the coil spring connecting a suspension arm to a body member may be prevented. The suspension includes the leaf spring provided at the suspension arm connecting a body frame to a knuckle; a spring pad coupled to the leaf spring; and the coil spring supported, at opposite ends of the coil spring, by the body member and the spring pad, the body member being located above the suspension arm.

The invention relates to a spring support for a coil spring (15), comprising an annular receiving element (5) having a top side and a bottom side, wherein the top side is provided to receive one end of the coil spring (15), and comprising an annular damping element (3), which is in contact with the bottom side of the receiving element (5), wherein the damping element (3) furthermore has on its inside a collar which extends from the bottom side of the receiving element (5) in the direction of the coil spring (15), and wherein the collar is formed by bending from a disk-shaped basic form of the damping element (3). The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing a spring support according to the invention, in which a disk-shaped damping element (3) is first of all placed in a casting mold, and an annular receiving element (5) is then produced by being molded or injection-molded to the damping element (3), with the result that the bottom side of the receiving element (5) is in contact with the annular damping element (3).

The four wheel vehicle uses an electric motor (142) for driving the vehicle and a battery unit (160) for supplying electric power to the electric motor. The lower chassis (5) of the vehicle includes a pair of front side frames (10) extending linearly in a fore and aft direction with an upward slant and a progressively increasing lateral mutual spacing from a front part thereof to a rear part thereof and a plurality of cross members (14, 16, 18) connecting the front side frames to each other. The battery unit is positioned between the two front side frames such that the battery unit overlaps with the front side frames in side view. Thereby, the battery unit can be effectively protected from side impacts.
