A coupled torsion beam axle (CTBA) bushing is press-fitted into a bushing bracket provided at a tip of a trailing arm at each of two opposite sides of a CTBA suspension system. In particular, the CTBA bushing includes: an outer pipe including a through-hole formed therein; an inner pipe positioned in the through-hole; and a bushing rubber disposed in the through-hole and positioned between an outer peripheral surface of the inner pipe and an inner peripheral surface of the outer pipe, in which the bushing rubber includes: first compounds extending in a first direction, which is a diameter direction of the inner pipe, with the inner pipe interposed therebetween; and a second compounds integrated with the first compounds and extending in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, with the inner pipe interposed therebetween.

A two-piece limit strap clamp for use with a shock absorber and a limit strap retention device is provided. The pieces couple together around the upper end of a shock absorber. The clamp has a protrusion that extends outwardly and is adapted for attachment of the top end of a limit strap. The lower end of the limit strap may be attached to a mounting tab that is coupled to the lower mounting bracket of the shock absorber. Also disclosed is a limit strap with a tether coupled to a spring of the shock absorber to prevent the limit strap from bowing out when the shock absorber is compressed. A method of use of a limit strap with a tether is also disclosed.

A dual-axle vehicle corner assembly which may include a sub-frame, a first arm connected to the sub-frame and rotatable with respect to the sub-frame about a first arm axis, the first arm having a first axle axis about which a first wheel rotates when connected to the first arm, a second arm connected to the sub-frame and rotatable with respect to the sub-frame about a second arm axis, the second arm having a second axle axis about which a second wheel rotates when connected to the second arm, and a suspension system comprising a piston assembly interconnecting the first arm and the second arm, the piston assembly is to controllably increase and decrease a length of the piston assembly to control a distance between the first axle axis and the second axle axis.

Present disclosure A hydraulic stopping damper includes a cylinder in which a work fluid is stored, a piston rod coupled such that one side of the piston rod is to be inserted into an inner space of the cylinder, and a rod guide through which the piston rod passes and coupled to one side of the cylinder. The hydraulic stopping damper includes a rebound spring surrounding the piston rod and disposed in an inner space of the cylinder, and a shock mitigator between the rod guide and the rebound spring, the shock mitigator configured to generate a damping force by a hydraulic pressure of the work fluid when one side of the rebound spring compressed in response to a rebound stroke of the piston rod is inserted into the rod guide.

In a rear suspension device of an automotive vehicle, a shock absorber is provided perpendicularly to a H-shaped lower arm in a side view, respective axis of resilient bushes of pivotal portions which pivotally support upper and lower arms at a vehicle-body side are configured to be parallel to a standard line which extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction in a plan view, and an imaginary axial line which interconnects respective centers of front and rear connection portions, via which the lower arm is connected to a wheel side, is configured to extend obliquely forward and inward relatively to the vehicle longitudinal direction.

This arm support structure is equipped with: a bracket on which base end section of an arm of a suspension device is positioned between a pair of facing walls which face one another at a distance in vehicle chassis front-rear direction; axial support members which axially support the base end section on the bracket, by being inserted into long holes formed to pass through facing walls and through-holes formed to pass through the base end section; eccentric plate members which are formed in a circular shape and capable of integrally rotating with axial support members, and have an engaging hole capable of engaging an axial support member formed to pass therethrough at a location offset in radial direction from the circular center thereof; and a plurality of contact parts which contact the circumferential edge of the eccentric plate members, and rotatably support the eccentric plate members.

An axle sleeve assembly includes a bushing with a first through hole, and an adjusting shaft jammed in the first through hole capably of being rotated by external force and having a second through hole whose central axis is parallel deviated from the central axis of the first through hole. A control arm device includes a control arm and two aforementioned axle sleeve assemblies. The control arm includes a front end portion for being installed with a joint, and two rear end portions each having an installation hole. The installation holes are coaxial with each other, and the bushings are disposed therein in a tight fit manner respectively. The axle sleeve assembly and the control arm device are applicable to an upper control arm of a double A-arm suspension system for adjusting the camber angle of a wheel, and have high structural strength.
