Abstract

See full text

A suspension assembly includes an inventive bushing having an integrated bushing and strap supporting a stabilizer bar. The bushing includes a body having a hole for receiving the stabilizer bar. A base of the body may include a cut so that the bushing can be spread apart to insert the stabilizer bar through the cut and into the hole. The bushing includes a shell around the exterior of the body that provides legs which are used to secure the inventive bushing to the vehicle frame. The shell includes one or more layers of cords similar to the steel belting of a tire to provide structural integrity to the shell. Layers of cords can be arranged at angles relative to one another to provide increased lateral stability.
