Disclosed are, inter alia, a rubber composition for suspension bush with improved fatigue durability and a rubber for a vehicle suspension bush including the same. The rubber may have increased hardness by applying a thiol-based compound as a cross-linking agent. The rubber composition may include a natural rubber, a filler including carbon black; a crosslinking agent including a thiol-based compound, an activator including zinc oxide and stearic acid, a sulfur, and a sulfur accelerator.

A top mount assembly includes an insulator comprising an upper plate, a lower plate, and a rubber bushing accommodated in an accommodation space defined between the upper plate and the lower plate; and a strut bearing comprising an upper housing, a lower housing, and a bearing interposed between the upper housing and the lower housing and configured to rotate the lower housing relative to the upper housing. The upper housing of the strut bearing may comprise an insulator mounting part formed on an upper portion of the upper housing and on which the insulator is mounted, the insulator mounting part may comprise a lower plate mounting part on which the lower plate of the insulator is mounted and an upper plate supporting part formed outside the lower plate mounting part, and the upper plate support part may be configured to support a lower surface of the upper plate.

A cantilever bushing assembly anchors the central torsional section of a vehicular stabilizer bar in a cantilevered manner relative to a vehicle understructure. The bushing assembly comprises a bracket having a pocket centered on a pocket axis that coincides with a longitudinal axis of the stabilizer bar. Two plastic outer cans are cooperatively slidable into the pocket. Each outer can has an anti-rotation lobe received in respective keyways formed in the pocket. A rubber buffer is bonded to each outer can. Each rubber buffer has a frusto-cylindrical inner bearing surface that forms an arcuate portion of an interior bushing diameter. The inner bearing surface is post-vulcanization bonded to the central torsional section of the stabilizer bar. An arched rate plate is embedded within each rubber buffer. The rubber buffers compress in the area of the inner bearing surfaces and constrict about the central torsional section of the stabilizer bar.

A strut assembly includes a piston rod of a shock absorber, an upper support of the shock absorber, a bearing, a spring and a buffer block, which are coaxially arranged. The upper support of the shock absorber has a first through hole, the bearing has a second through hole, and a portion of the upper support of the shock absorber is arranged in the second through hole, the buffer block has a third through hole, and one end of the piston rod of the shock absorber is located in the first through hole, the other end of the piston rod of the shock absorber passes through the third through hole, the buffer block is connected with the upper support of the shock absorber, the spring is sleeved around the piston rod of the shock absorber, and the spring is connected with the bearing. The present disclosure further provides a vehicle.

A void bushing for a vehicle suspension is configured to have protrusion parts formed to protrude outwards on a bulge part of an inner pipe. The protrusion parts are located to be disposed in oblique line directions between void portions of an elastic body that is filled between the inner pipe and an outer pipe. In the void bushing, ride comfort characteristics and durability characteristics of a vehicle may be maintained, as they are, under favorable conditions by the void portions. Further the handling response characteristics of the vehicle may be advantageously improved by promoting a rigidity increase through the protrusion parts.

A suspension arm bushing provided in a vehicle includes coils. First magnetic viscoelastic elastomers are arranged at both ends in an axial direction of a housing, respectively, to sandwich the coils. A second magnetic viscoelastic elastomer is arranged in the housing so as to be sandwiched between the coils. A controller selectively switches directions of magnetic fields generated by the coils between the same direction and opposite directions.

A tandem mechanical spring axle/suspension system for heavy-duty vehicles includes a tandem assembly that comprises a front beam of a suspension assembly of a front axle/suspension system, a rear beam of a suspension assembly of a rear axle suspension system, and a mechanical spring. The mechanical spring operatively engages the front beam and the rear beam and extends longitudinally therebetween, as well as operatively engages a main member of the vehicle frame.

A variable rate leaf spring vehicle suspension system includes a vehicle frame. The suspension system also includes a single leaf spring extending from a first end to a second end. The suspension system further includes a tension shackle pivotably coupled to the vehicle frame about an axis, the tension shackle defining a channel, the second end of the leaf spring disposed within the channel of the tension shackle, wherein the axis about which the tension shackle is pivotable is below the second end of the leaf spring.

A suspension for a vehicle may include: a center leaf spring; side leaf springs respectively installed on opposing sides of the center leaf spring; mounting brackets configured to connect the center leaf spring and the side leaf springs, respectively; and damper bushes mounted in the mounting brackets, respectively, and configured to absorb shock.

A vibration-damping device body (10) is provided that includes a first mounting member (11) mounted on one of a vibration-generating portion and a vibration-receiving portion via a bracket (2), a second mounting member (12) mounted on the other of the vibration-generating portion and the vibration-receiving portion, and an elastic body (13) connecting the first mounting member (11) and the second mounting member (12). The first mounting member (11) is fitted into a fitting hole (2a) formed in the bracket (2). A first guide portion (30) is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the first mounting member (11). A second guide portion (20 is formed on an inner circumferential surface of the fitting hole (2a). The first guide portion (30) is fitted into the second guide portion (2f). The first mounting member (11) is formed of a synthetic resin material, and a metal fitting (40) having first engagement surfaces (42a) coming into contact with the second guide portion (2f) is arranged on the first guide portios (30).
