A bearing structure component for a vehicle bearing, having at least one through-opening for receiving a connecting element or a bearing which is made of foamed synthetic material, and the foamed synthetic material forms an integral foam structure. In an embodiment, at least one first local section of the integral foam structure has a wall thickness of greater than 4 mm.

An independent suspension assembly for a vehicle, said assembly including: a suspension arm pivotally attachable at a first end to a point fast with the vehicle; a support member for rigid attachment of a lower end of a resilient member at a remote end of the suspension arm the resilient member having a remote side and a near side, the remote side being further from said point than the near side; and a pivoting mounting assembly attachable to the vehicle for attachment of an upper end of the resilient member; wherein pivoting of the suspension arm causes the resilient member to elicit pivoting of the pivoting assembly for minimizing a difference in lengthening between the remote and near sides of the resilient member.

A stabilizer unit for a vehicle and a method for manufacturing such a stabilizer unit, the stabilizer unit comprising a stabilizer bar, at least one bearing including a flange, made of plastic material, including at least one retaining portion and one groove including a cradle portion, wherein the stabilizer bar passes through the groove of the flange and is secured to the flange by means of a vulcanized elastomer layer.

A bush for vehicles and a method for assembling the same, may include an elastic body closely attached to an external surface of an internal structure, a bearing configured such that the elastic body is coupled to an internal surface of the bearing, a housing coupled to an external surface of the bearing to come into sliding contact with the bearing and mounted on a target object on which the housing is to be mounted, and seals mounted between both end portions of the bearing and both end portions of the housing to seal a sliding contact surface between the bearing and the housing.

A strut bearing assembly for a vehicle includes: an insulator coupled to a vehicle body; a first case disposed to face the insulator; a second case rotatably coupled to the first case; a friction reduction unit disposed between the first case and the second case, and configured to reduce friction between the first case and the second case; and a coupling unit disposed in the insulator and the first case, melted by heat, and coupling the insulator and the first case to each other.

A suspension thrust bearing device for use with a suspension spring in an automotive suspension strut of a vehicle. The device includes an upper annular bearing member and a lower annular bearing member in relative rotation. The lower annular bearing member having a body provided with an embedded stiffening insert. The device further provides a damping element made of resilient material and interposed between the lower annular bearing member and the suspension spring. A radial flange of the damping element prevents separation from the lower side of the radial flange of the lower cap.

The invention relates to a wheel suspension control system for a vehicle. The system comprises a suspension device, a wheel end bearing, at least one vibration sensor and a processing circuitry. The vibration sensor is provided at or in the wheel end bearing for measuring vibrations propagated from the road wheel to the wheel end bearing when the road wheel travels on a road having surface variations, wherein the vibration sensor is configured to transmit measurement signals representing the measured vibrations. The processing circuitry is configured to receive the transmitted measurement signals and to control at least one suspension parameter of the suspension device based on the received measurement signals. The invention also relates to a vehicle and to a method for controlling a suspension device.

A rotary suspension stop for a suspension strut comprises a bearing, a lower support forming a bearing surface for an upper turn of a helical spring and an annular shrink-fitting surface turned radially in a radial reference direction, a cover comprising an annular skirt extending axially facing and at a distance from the shrink-fitting surface and a seal having a body, at least one annular sealing lip in sliding contact against the annular skirt of the cover and at least a first set of one or more elastic first shrink-fit lips projecting toward the shrink-fitting surface and shrunk to the shrink-fitting surface.

A chassis control arm includes a single-piece base body with several hollow chambers. The base body includes a plurality of bearing mounts. A first bearing mount is formed by one of the hollow chambers and traverses the base body to define a first bearing axis which extends in extrusion direction. A second bearing mount in a first end portion of the base body defines a second bearing axis in a direction which deviates from the extrusion direction of the hollow profile. A third bearing mount is positioned in a second end portion of the base body. The base body has a center portion which includes the first bearing mount and is arranged between the first and second end portions. The base body has a first leg extending from the first end portion to the center portion, and a second leg extending from the second end portion to the center portion.

A method for creating a roller spring perch has steps for making a steel frame bracket, procuring snap rings, procuring four bearings, machining a steel cylindrical bearing housing, machining a bearing shaft, assembling the bearing shaft to the bearing housing with the four bearings pressed onto each of two bearing lands, assembling the snap rings in snap ring grooves of the bearing shaft, placing the bearing housing with the bearing shaft and bearings centered through holes in sidewalls of the steel bracket; and spot welding the bearing housing to the sidewalls of the steel bracket.
