    Abstract: A vehicle suspension friction control assembly includes vehicle suspension having at least two elements which are slidable with respect to each other in the fore-and-aft direction thereof. The assembly also includes a friction control device comprising a resiliently deformable member which is located between the suspension elements and means for limiting deformation of the deformable member to a predetermined degree in the fore-and-aft direction of the suspension elements. The suspension elements are slidable with respect to each other against friction when the deformable member has been deformed to the predetermined limited degree.
