  • Upper mount for suspension strut
    Patent number: 5078370
    Abstract: An automotive front suspension strut upper mounting arrangement providing a compact low profile design requiring a minimal number of parts. The suspension spring rebound load is placed on a lower rebound stop member of the mount and the suspension jounce load is placed on an upper jounce stop member of the mount. As a result the upper jounce stop member provides an installation pilot for ready assembly while the lower rebound member is fixed to the vehicle body allowing the strut rod freedom to move relative to the strut thrust bearing.
