Anti-vibration rubber member and production method thereof

An anti-vibration rubber member includes: a rubber elastic body that is made of a self-lubricating rubber containing an elastomer and a bleeding lubricant; a coating film that covers at least a portion of a sliding inner surface that is a surface of the rubber elastic body disposed on an inner side of a sliding surface, contains a resin having a mercapto group and a solid lubricant containing polytetrafluoroethylene particles and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene particles, and is deformable to follow up deformation of the rubber elastic body; and a lubricating film that covers at least a portion of a surface of the coating film, is formed by including the bleeding lubricant having penetrated the coating film from the rubber elastic body and oozing onto the surface of the coating film, and forms at least a portion of the sliding surface.

Void bushing for a vehicle suspension

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.

Trailing arm bush for coupled torsion beam axle

A trailing arm bush may include a cylindrical outer pipe, an inner pipe inserted to a central portion of the outer pipe at an interval, a first bush rubber unit, a second bush rubber unit and a third bush rubber unit that connect between an inner peripheral surface of the outer pipe and an outer peripheral surface of the inner pipe, respectively, a hollow void part formed between the inner peripheral surface of the outer pipe and the outer peripheral surface of the inner pipe, and a stopper attached to the inner peripheral surface of the outer pipe and disposed among the first bush rubber unit, the second bush rubber unit and the third bush rubber unit.

VEHICLE JOINT AND BUSHING ASSEMBLY

A vehicle joint and bushing assembly furnishes movements of a supported component for desired adjustments and alignments to be made thereat. The vehicle joint and bushing assembly can be installed for use with joints in automotive vehicles such as for adjustments and alignment to suspension control arms and steering knuckles, among other applications and components. In various implementations, the vehicle joint and bushing assembly involves a joint opening and has one or more sleeves. A retention member is supported by the sleeve(s). The retention member is able to move to off-center positions via the sleeve(s) and relative to a centerline of the joint opening in order to adjust and align the supported component.
