Abstract
This descriptive report for a utility model patent describes a practical and innovative adapter assembly with a pivot for utility vehicle suspension systems. It belongs to the field of mechanics and is specifically designed for use in the suspension of "Kombi" or station wagon type vehicles. The original constructive arrangement aims to modernize the suspension system of this type of vehicle. It consists of an adapter assembly with a pivot formed by a half-shaft (eyelet) with a housing. This configuration is capable of housing an internal insert, preferably polymeric, which centrally houses the spherical end of the pivot (ball pin). The central cylindrical body of the pivot passes through the boot, elastic lock, smooth adjuster, and washer, projecting its other threaded cylindrical end from the lower face, where an M16 nut is located.responsible for securing the protective base to the pivot and sealing the lower face of the half-shaft; on the upper face of the half-shaft there is a cover, secured by means of a retaining ring.
