Abstract: A mechanical adaptor to enable the motorization of an otherwise non-motorized strut compressor for use in assembling and disassembling a strut assembly of the type having a shock absorber axially disposed within a coil spring. The adaptor when used in combination with an electric pipe threader and an otherwise non-motorized strut compressor enables a method for the motorized compression and release of strut springs using the otherwise non-motorized strut compressor.

Abstract: A lift option kit that allows the user to alter the vertical suspension lift of a vehicle.

Abstract: A method and tool assembly (10) for unloading and reloading spring energy from a torsion bar (11) in a torsion bar suspension system of a motor vehicle. The tool assembly (10) includes a generally C-shaped body (14) having a screw shaft (24) threaded through a boss (22) in a lower section (18) thereof. An anti-rotation stem (38) includes a knurled flat face (40) which increases versatility of the tool assembly (10) by enabling anti-slip operation with various vehicle types. A counter-torque tool perch (46) extends from the lower section (18) of the tool body (14) for applying a counter-rotational torque to the body (14) during use of the tool assembly (10).

Abstract: A device and method for providing extension capability to an installable shock absorber for a vehicle.

Abstract: Elastomeric compression preloaded support insulators for automotive drive shafts.

Abstract: An automotive control arm bushing. The bushing comprises an elastomeric center portion and two joinable separable locking sleeves, said elastomeric center portion being radially relieved with a portion of the radius being convex segments and a portion of the radius being concave segments, wherein the ratio of convex surface to concave surface is 35:65 to 65:35. In addition, there is an automotive control arm bushing having no linear mobility and a method of replacing an automotive control arm bushing.
