Abstract
A spring damper element in the form of a cap made of an elastomeric material and adapted to be mounted over the end of a coil spring. In one embodiment, the cap includes a top circumferential wall defining a central opening and a circumferential side wall depending outwardly from a peripheral circumferential edge of the top wall. In one embodiment, the cap is used in a vehicle pedal assembly to eliminate contact and noise between the inner and outer coil springs of a double coil spring assembly extending between the base and the pedal arm. In this embodiment, the top wall of the cap is seated against the top of the end of the inner coil spring and the side wall extends and is wedged between the inner and outer coil springs.
