A vehicle front structure includes a connecting member (10) formed of a belt-shaped metal plate, the connecting member (10) has a plate-shaped bottom section (11), a first folded section (12 formed by folding a circumferential edge of the bottom section (11) and a circumferential wall section (13) that is formed in a continuous annular shape and that continues to the bottom section (11) via a folded section (12), and the bottom section (11) of the connecting member is formed in a V shape upward or downward in a longitudinal direction.

A link device for linking a motor vehicle cradle and a structural element of a body of the vehicle, the link device including a unitary ear including a base for connection to the cradle and an upper portion for connection to a structural element of the body. The ear includes a lateral portion including a bent U-shape for accommodating a bearing for guiding an anti-roll bar.

A second inner member and a second insulator are provided in a second ring-shaped member forming a torque rod. A first bore section and a second bore section are provided in front of and in the rear of the second inner member. The insulator has an elastic arm section extending in the direction of a Y axis. A spring adjustment recess extends in a slit shape in the direction of an X axis from an end of the first bore section. The spring adjustment recess forms an unrestricted part of the elastic arm section by the second ring-shaped member, whereby the Z spring in the axial direction of the inner member is lowered, and the XZ spring ratio can be changed greatly while maintaining the size of the X spring in the main vibration inputting direction.

A ring link assembly is configured to securely link a first component to a second component. The assembly may include a first housing defining a first passage having a first center, and a second housing defining a second passage having a second center. The first and second centers may reside in a common plane. A connecting beam connects the first housing to the second housing. The connecting beam may be canted with respect to the common plane. One or both of the first and second housings may connect to the connecting beam through an arcuate transition joint. A cant of the connecting beam and/or a curvature of the arcuate transition joint may be configured to reduce mechanical interference between the assembly and one or both of the first and second components.

A torsional damper disposed between a rotor sleeve, which is configured to receive a rotational force of an engine, and a rotor hub, which is disposed rearward of the rotor sleeve, and configured to transmit the rotational force of the engine to the rotor hub, and a hybrid drive module to which the torsional damper is applied, includes: a first damper, and the first damper includes a first cover plate provided at a driving side and having a first stopper, a first stopper accommodation portion provided at a driven side and configured to accommodate the first stopper, and shield members configured to cover an opening of the first stopper accommodation portion to restrict a movement of a fluid in a radial direction through the first stopper accommodation portion.

A split bushing torque strut isolator assembly for a vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a lower bushing configured to be disposed in a vehicle structural component, a bushing housing configured to be coupled to the vehicle structural component, an upper bushing disposed at least partially within the bushing housing, the upper bushing being separate from the lower bushing, and a torque rod having a first end and a second end, the second end being disposed between the upper and lower bushings. A method of assembling the split bushing torque strut isolator assembly is also provided.

To heighten the rigidity of a torque rod at the time of compression. A rod section 12, a second ring section 16 and a main body portion 18 are integrally formed of resin. The rod section 12 is provided with a pair of intermediate ribs 44 which extends in parallel in the direction of a center axis CO. A center groove 45 is formed between the intermediate ribs 44. Front end portions 44a of the intermediate ribs 44 located on a first ring section 14 side spread apart in the direction away from each other. A connecting rib 46 provided in a front end portion 45a of the center groove 45 provides a connection between the front end portions 44a. With this construction, even if a compression load is imposed on the front end portions 44a in the direction to forcibly spread these end portions apart, this is suppressed by the connecting rib 46. The connecting rib 46 is arranged in the vicinity of the first ring section 14 whereby effective reinforcement can be achieved.

The present disclosure relates to an off-road vehicle having different features such as an engine assembly, a frame having a frame structure, and a rear mount assembly facilitating easy installation of the engine assembly, and a method of installing the engine assembly. Embodiments of the present disclosure also describe a removable frame member facilitating the installation of the engine assembly from a seating area into a rearward portion of the vehicle. The removable frame member is positioned at least partially forward of the installed engine assembly and in a lateral direction of the vehicle. The frame structure and the rear mount assembly provide more efficient assembly of the engine and transmission assembly into a tight space envelope.

A vehicle bracket arrangement for suspending a protection plate for an energy storage system, the vehicle bracket arrangement comprising a bracket comprising a bracket cavity, and a bushing arrangement comprising a first part arranged in, and rotationally fixed to, the bracket cavity, the first part comprising a central cavity, a second part arranged in the central cavity of the first part, and a third part arranged in the second part, wherein the third part comprises an aperture configured to receive a fastener element for connecting a protection plate to the bracket.
