A suspension coil spring device includes a compression coil spring that has a coating film, a rubber vibration isolator, and an adhesive layer that joins the compression coil spring and the rubber vibration isolator to each other. The adhesive layer is a cured product of a reactive hot melt adhesive.

A wheel suspension for a motor vehicle wheel for damping NVH effects, wherein the NVH effects are transmitted from an automatic transmission to the driven wheel via the drive train at idle. The NVH effects can potentially be transmitted from the wheel to the vehicle structure via the wheel suspension. The wheel suspension having at least one elastic element, the stiffness of which in a vertical direction of deflection has a softer stiffness characteristic in a deflection range close to the zero point than in deflection ranges more remote from the zero point.

An insulator for a vehicle suspension and a method of manufacturing the same, may include an insulator having a housing which is configured to be engaged with a vehicle body and in which a hook protrusion is formed to protrude from an upper end opening of the housing; a bush which is configured to be engaged with a piston rod of a shock absorber, wherein a vibration-proof rubber, a core, and an outer pipe are integrally mounted in the bush, and wherein the bush is press-inserted into and fixed in an inner space of the housing so that the bush becomes hooked upward to the hook protrusion; and a fixing plate press-inserted into and fixed in the inner space of the housing so that the fixing plate is in contact with a lower end portion of the bush and supports the bush from a lower side thereof.

A top mount housing, suitable for an assembly including a jounce bumper and a damper mount, comprises a central annular portion having an upper portion, a lower cylindrical inner portion, and a central longitudinal axis. In embodiments, the lower cylindrical inner portion is configured to receive a portion of a jounce bumper, a lower lip portion extends from or is adjacent to the lower cylindrical inner portion, the lower cylindrical inner portion has a vertical length in the direction of the central longitudinal axis, and the lower lip portion is formed to extend radially inwardly at an angle from an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis. Methods for making a top mount and a top mount assembly are also disclosed.

An air suspension arrangement arranged to be connected between a vehicle axle and a vehicle chassis of a vehicle includes a flexible bellows having an upper portion connectable to the vehicle chassis of the vehicle, and a bumper stop, wherein the air suspension arrangement further includes a polymer member arranged between the bumper stop and the flexible bellows for connecting the bumper stop to the flexible bellows. A method for manufacturing the air suspension arrangement and a vehicle including such an air suspension arrangement are also provided.

A silencer for a leaf spring for a commercial vehicle is provided. The silencer includes an upper rubber body having defined therein a fitting hole into which a second leaf spring is press-fitted, with a top surface of the upper rubber body serving as a contact surface in contact with a first leaf spring, and a lower rubber body having defined therein an accommodation space, with a first buffering protrusion being provided on a bottom surface of the lower rubber body such that a third leaf spring is able to be in contact with the first buffering protrusion.

In a rocking vehicle, a front wheel suspension device suspends a front wheel in an upwardly displaceable manner due to a reaction force from a road surface. The rocking vehicle includes a cushion support arm, on a body frame side, including a cushion support portion of the front wheel suspension device, and a rigidity adjustment device which is extended between plural portions of the cushion support arm. The rigidity adjustment device applies a pre-tension to the cushion support arm, and the pre-tension generates a pre-force component in the cushion support portion in the same direction as the upward moving direction of the front wheel due to a reaction force of the front wheel from the road surface.

There is provided a control arm comprising a shell-like shell of a first material and a reinforcement of a plastic material, wherein the reinforcement has a flex-element which protrudes therefrom and which can be supported or guided by means of a vehicle structure in order in the event of jounce and/or rebound of the suspension to produce a resilient action equivalent to a conventional spring.

An axle suspension for a vehicle includes a spring assembly with a leaf spring and a connecting arm, wherein the leaf spring supports a vehicle axle and, on an end side, is pivotably connected to a vehicle structure and pivotably connected to the connecting arm. In order to provide an optimized axle suspension with two-stage suspension, the spring assembly in a region of the connecting arm has a first stop element and the vehicle structure has a second stop element, which stop elements under normal load of the vehicle are spaced apart from one another and, when a limit load is exceeded, contact one another, whereby at least one stop element is elastically deformable.

The present invention is to provide a bound stopper, which has high mechanical strength, is excellent in durability against fatigue breaking, settling or the like when a heavy load is repeatedly received, and is easy to be produced, in which the bound stopper comprises a polyurethane foam obtained from a polyurethane foam composition containing an isocyanate component and a blowing agent, and the isocyanate component contains a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, the urethane prepolymer being obtained from a polyol component, a polyrotaxane containing a cyclic molecule having an active hydrogen group as a constituent, and an isocyanate.
