    Abstract: A vehicle suspension includes a mount assembly for a gas strut. The mount system includes a resilient bushing supported upon an annular carrier. A rigid annular member is mounted within an inner diameter of the resilient bushing. The resilient bushing, the annular carrier, and the annular member are symmetrical about an equator. The resilient bushing, the annular carrier, and the annular member are of a two-piece structure which are mirror images when reflected through the equator. The two-piece structure allows rapid assembly, simplification of manufacture, and assembly into the vehicle structure. Another mount system includes a one-piece resilient bushing having a cylindrical annular carrier.
