An air spring strut for a motor vehicle comprising an air spring with a shock damper for the spring-cushioning and damping of oscillations of a motor vehicle chassis, wherein the air spring comprises an air spring cover and a rolling piston, wherein a rolling bellows of elastomer material is clamped in an airtight manner between the air spring cover and the rolling piston, wherein the air spring cover comprises a damper bearing receptacle in which a damper bearing of the shock damper is arranged, and wherein the air spring cover comprises a clamping base to which a first end of the rolling bellows is attached, wherein at least the damper bearing receptacle of the air spring cover is produced from a plastic material.

A vehicle component such as an axle spindle or suspension beam (3) is connected to a tubular vehicle axle (1) by fitting a connector sleeve (2) onto the axle and subjecting the assembly to a crimping operation in which plural depressions (206,2018) are formed by indentation in the connector sleeve and the axle wall at the connection region (11,12) to fix the connector sleeve on the tubular axle. In the described proposals a solid lubricant (4) such as molybdenum disulphide is applied at the connection region between the connector sleeve (2) and axle (1), before crimping. The further vehicle component (3) is then connected to the connector sleeve (2) by welding.

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.

An assembly for securing a component of a damper assembly includes a press movable along an axis from a retracted position to an extended position. The assembly includes a plurality of rollers rotatably supported at an end of the press. The rollers have an outer circumferential surface that includes a middle portion extending, in cross-section, transversely to the axis and linearly between an entry portion and a top portion of the outer circumferential surface.

This manufacturing method for a link part is a method of manufacturing a link part having one end portion having a connecting hole and provided on one side in one direction from an intermediate part which is long in the one direction and has a first side wall and a second side wall each having a pilot hole at least at one end portion and disposed to face each other and a connecting wall connecting one side edge of the first side wall and one side edge of the second side wall, and the other end portion provided on the other side therefrom in the one direction. The method includes a reinforcing process of inserting a metal core into the pilot hole, and an O-bending process of O-bending the first side wall and the second side wall so that the other side edge of the first side wall and the other side edge of the second side wall are brought into contact with each other after the reinforcing process.

A stabilizer is provided with a restriction ring connected to a torsion portion at a connection portion adjacent to a bush. The restriction ring has a body, a female portion, a male portion, and a welded portion. The female portion has gripping portions with a spacing therebetween decreasing in the direction away from a valley bottom portion. The male portion has a neck portion, an expansion portion, and a contraction portion. The welded portion covers at least the range of the contraction portion and the valley bottom portion and melts in the plate thickness direction from the outer peripheral surface.

Vehicle top suspension mount comprising an anti-vibratory block housed in casing. The casing may comprise at least one securing element movable between an assembly position and a securing position. The securing element may be configured to block, in the securing position, the vehicle top suspension mount in relation to a vehicle body when the vehicle top suspension mount is joined to said vehicle body.

Vehicle top suspension mount comprising an anti-vibratory block housed in a casing and a removable insert. The anti-vibratory block may comprise an elastomeric body having a first contact surface and the removable insert may have a second contact surface. The second contact surface may be distant from the first contact surface. The elastomeric body may be deformable so that the first contact surface cooperates at least partially as a support with the second contact surface.
