Abstract

See full text

A damper assembly for a vehicle suspension system includes a damper and a manifold. The damper includes a tubular sidewall that defines an inner damper volume and a plunger separating the inner damper volume into a first chamber and a second chamber. The damper defines a first opening in fluid communication with the first chamber and a second opening in fluid communication with the second chamber. The manifold includes a housing having a pilot and defining a flow path between an inlet port and an outlet port, a flow controller coupled to the housing and positioned along the flow path, and a piston including a pilot end coupled to the pilot and an interface end that engages the flow controller with a pilot force. The inlet port is in fluid communication with at least one of the first opening and the second opening of the damper.
