Abstract: An after-market subframe bushing support assembly that includes a RS back top bushing member formed as a disc shape with a RS back top bushing member outer diameter and a RS back top bushing member first height, and the RS back top bushing member having a rectangular center opening with rounded corners defined by a pair of RS back top bushing member long sides and a pair of RS back top bushing member short sides, and a RS back top bushing member second height in a second area between the RS back top bushing member short sides and the RS back top bushing member outer diameter. The subframe bushing support assembly reduces noise-vibration-harness compared with other solutions and can easily be installed by car enthusiasts.

Abstract: A shifter apparatus for a manual transmission constructed and arranged for variable longitudinal displacement along the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle. The instant invention provides a shifter body assembly that is flexibly coupled at a first end to the vehicle body and flexibly coupled at a second end to a portion of the transmission housing via a structural connecting link. The connecting link may include various fixed or adjustable lengths to allow the shifter displacement.
Abstract: An upper strut mount assembly includes a cylindrical member. The cylindrical member includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and an annular portion. A bottom surface of the annular portion abuts at least a top portion of a rolling member thereby allowing the spring seat to rotate relative to at least the cylindrical member. A first resilient member includes a first annular portion and a second annular portion. A bottom surface of the first annular portion abuts a top surface of the cylindrical member annular portion. A second resilient member includes a first annular portion and a second annular portion. A bottom surface of the first annular potion abuts a top surface of the cylindrical member annular portion. An exposed surface of the second annular portion of the second resilient abuts an exposed surface of the second annular portion of the first resilient member.
Abstract: The present invention provides a suspension tuning device for vehicles with struts. More specifically, the suspension tuning device generally comprises a pair of plates constructed to mount juxtaposed to the strut/spindle mounting flange of a standard MacPherson strut, each plate includes an inset sub-plate having an offset aperture which cooperates with one of the spindle attachment bolts to control wheel camber.

Abstract: The present invention provides a suspension tuning device for vehicles with struts. More specifically the suspension tuning device generally comprises an upper plate, two lower plates and a strut mounting plate. The plates are constructed to mount juxtaposed to a standard strut tower mounting member to permit quick front suspension alterations throughout an increased range when compared to the prior art.
Abstract: The present invention provides a charge motion plate kit for internal combustion engines. More specifically, the charge motion plate kit permits replacement of the OEM charge motion valves of the prior art for high performance applications. In one embodiment, the charge motion plate kit comprises a single charge motion plate for each bank of cylinders, each charge motion plate includes at least one aperture for each cylinder within the bank. The plates are constructed to mount juxtaposed to the intake manifold mounting flange and the cylinder head intake manifold mounting surface in a sandwiched configuration.
