Abstract: A link assembly for a suspension system of a motor vehicle. The link assembly includes a link having a barrel portion at each end. The barrel portion is narrower than that of previously developed links and is fitted with tapered cone bushings. The narrower links and tapered cone bushings enable a greater degree of articulation of the link without the edges of the barrel portions hitting the surfaces of the mounting brackets to which the link is attached. Each barrel portion also includes an integral ring which limits the lateral movement of each link assembly without limiting torsional movement. Each barrel portion also includes integrally formed grease passageways for enabling lubricant to be held within the barrel portions when the tapered cone bushings are assembled thereto.
