A pressure retaining valve including: a first valve body for an opening of an air spring, the first valve body having an access opening; a second valve body connected to the first valve body and having a chamber fluidly communicating with the access opening and having a side outlet opening; and a return member disposed outside the access opening in the chamber for providing a bias toward the access opening; a closure part disposed in the chamber and movable from a closed condition against the bias to an open condition; and an actuator part having a head portion, a shaft section, and a flow channel, the head portion disposed outside the access opening and having a larger diameter than the access opening, wherein the stem portion is movably disposed through the access opening into the chamber, and the actuator member can move the closure member out of the closed condition.

End member assemblies are dimensioned for securement to an end of a flexible spring member for forming gas spring assemblies. An end member assembly can include an end member body and at least one connector fitting. The end member body includes a base section and a cap section that are secured together at a single flowed-material joint. The base section and the cap section together at least partially define a reservoir chamber within the end member body. The at least one connector fitting is at least partially embedded within the end member body. Gas spring assemblies including at least one end member assembly and suspension systems including at least one gas spring assembly are also included.

The present disclosure relates to a check rail for a rail suspension in a vehicle. The check rail may include a check rail body, and a ball-and-socket joint pan formed in the check rail body, wherein the ball-and-socket joint pan may include a circumferential inner wall and a receiving opening, with a ball-and-socket joint pin with an articulated ball in the ball-and-socket joint pan, and with a plastic injection layer configured to embed the articulated ball in the ball-and-socket joint pan between the circumferential inner wall of the ball-and-socket joint pan and the articulated ball.

The present invention relates to a stabilizer link for automobile suspensions, comprising: a tubular body (1), having at one end a pair of first flattened areas (2, 2) configuring a leak-tight closure of a first inner cavity (9) of the tubular body (1) located between both flattened areas (2, 2); and a first covering (4) made of polymeric material coupled, during the forming process thereof, on the end of the tubular body (1) such that it surrounds the pair of first flattened areas (2, 2), and wherein said covering (4) comprises a first articulation (6).

A suspension strut bearing having a cap and a guide ring mounted such that it is rotatable in relation to the cap about an axis of rotation, a plain bearing or rolling bearing provided between the cap and the guide ring and a supporting ring provided for a bump stop, which supporting ring extends radially internally around the guide ring, and the supporting ring is connected to the guide ring with material fit.

The disclosure relates to a bearing arrangement for a bearing end of a fastening shackle in a vehicle body of a vehicle that includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve and a sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing. The inner sleeve is mounted in the outer sleeve so that the inner sleeve is able to slide. The sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing surrounds the inner sleeve and is connected to the inner sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner. The sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing is also longer than the outer sleeve and is delimited by a first sleeve rim that protrudes beyond the outer sleeve, where the first sleeve rim is configurable to be form-locked and to resist rotation.

A hybrid arm according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a first body made of a metal material and formed with a plurality of end portions; a second body formed so as to fill an inner side of the first body by being insert-injection-molded to the first body; and a ball joint formed integrally at a first end portion among the plurality of end portions of the first body. The ball joint may include: a reinforcement member coupled to the first end portion; a bearing member formed with a space therein; a ball stud including a ball rotatably inserted into the space of the bearing member and a rod extending upward of the ball; and a housing interposed between the reinforcement member and the bearing member and formed integrally with the second body.

The present disclosure relates to a hybrid lower arm including: a metal member including a plurality of end portions, one end portion of the plurality of end portions being connected to a ball joint and another end portion of the plurality of end portions being connected to a vehicular body; a face portion extending downwards along an edge of the metal member between the one end portion and the another end portion; and a guard member configured to surround a portion of the face portion and formed of a material lighter than the metal member.

A stabilizer for a vehicle suspension, including a longitudinal polymeric body with a metal frame having two ends and a central sector, having a hole at each end in which there is housed a ball joint, where the frame is formed from two metal parts having an open section which are arranged opposite one another on their open sides, where each part includes a deep drawn portion that goes towards the open side such that the opposing parts are supported on the deep drawn portions and attached therein by welding.

A stabilizer bar bushing assembly is provided, in which even though it is exposed to heat of high temperature for a long time period the bracket is not dislocated from the rubber because the bracket is attached to the rubber integrally. The stabilizer bar bushing assembly comprises: an upper body including an upper rubber formed with a first concave groove and an upper bracket enclosing an outer surface of the upper rubber and bonded integrally to the upper rubber; a lower body including a lower rubber formed with a second concave groove and a lower bracket enclosing an outer circumferential surface of the lower rubber and bonded integrally to the lower rubber; and a coupling means for coupling the upper bracket and the lower bracket together in a state of installing the upper body and the lower body on the stabilizer bar.
