Abstract: A mount assembly for connecting a damper rod to a body includes a tower including an annular opening and a proximal attachment portion. The tower is connected to the body at the proximal attachment portion. The mount assembly further includes a mount housing having a vertical portion extending through the annular opening and a flange disposed on one side of the tower. A nut is disposed on a side of the tower opposite the one side and engaged with the vertical portion of the mount housing. The mount assembly further includes a resilient cushion assembly disposed within the vertical portion of the mount housing so that the damper rod extends through the resilient cushion assembly, and a spring engaged with the tower and adapted to transfer loads to the tower.

Abstract: A mount assembly for connecting a damper rod to a motor vehicle tower comprises a mount housing, a nut, and a resilient cushion. The mount housing has a vertical portion extending through an opening in the tower, and a flange disposed on one side of the tower. The nut is disposed on a side of the tower opposite the one side, and is engaged with the vertical portion of the mount housing. The resilient cushion is disposed within the vertical portion of the mount housing, the damper rod extending through the resilient cushion assembly. A spring engaged with the tower is adapted to transfer loads from the motor vehicle to the tower.

Abstract: A hydraulic mount assembly includes a pair of mounting members connected to each other through a hollow elastomeric body. The body is closed by a resilient diaphragm so as to form a cavity for damping liquid. A partition is provided to divide the fluid filled cavity into two distinct chambers. A primary chamber is formed between the partition and the interior wall of the body. A secondary chamber is formed between the partition and the interior wall of the diaphragm. The partition includes at least one orifice track connecting the two chambers. There is further provided a pressure relief valve cooperating with the partition and in fluid communication with the two chambers. The pressure relief valve allows damping liquid to pass directly between the chambers when pressure builds to an undesirably high level. This high pressure circumstance can cause the orifice track to choke off, restricting the primary path of fluid flow between the chambers.
