Abstract: A damper having a pressure tube, a piston, a hydraulic compression stop assembly, and a base valve assembly is provided. The piston is arranged in sliding engagement inside the pressure tube and divides the pressure tube into first and second working chambers. The hydraulic compression stop assembly is positioned in the second working chamber and includes a sleeve and a plunger. The sleeve extends from the base valve assembly to define a sleeve cavity. The plunger extends from the piston and/or piston rod and is designed to slide into the sleeve cavity when the piston approaches a fully compressed position of the damper. The base valve assembly includes intake passageways and an intake valve. The intake valve is constructed as a one-way valve that permits fluid to flow in one direction into the sleeve cavity through the intake passageways.
