Embodiment Construction

[0020] Suspension systems may be used in vehicles to provide a level ride for the vehicle by dampening or managing acceleration and deceleration of suspension components to manage pitch, roll, and yaw of the vehicle during varying operating conditions. Suspension systems typically include a number of suspension components such as control arms, pins, kingpins, struts, springs, dampers, steering components, wheel assembly components, mounting hardware, and / or other known suspension devices. The suspension components may be coupled together using any known or suitable coupling means. In one particular type of coupling, a hitch and hitch pin may be used to couple one suspension component to another suspension component. In one exemplary embodiment, one suspension component may include a hook and the other suspension component may include an articulation member that may use a hole located in each end of each arm or branch of the hook A hitch pin is coupled to the hitch. The hitch...

Abstract

A suspension coupling (5) for use in a vehicle suspension system the suspension coupling (5) including a knuckle and bushing assembly (10) wherein the knuckle member is a cast aluminum piece having a passage for receiving a two-piece bushing member (15) having a formed, metal inner member (17) and a molded, elastomeric outer member (16) having extension members (19) at each end. The bushing member (5) is press-fit into the knuckle member (12) and exhibits higher stiffness in the radial (R) and axial (A) directions and lower stiffness in the torsional (T) and conical (C) directions.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This PCT application hereby claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 360,214, filed June 30, 2010, by Darcey-Sharma, entitled "Knuckle and Bushing Assembly," which is hereby incorporated in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to an integral sleeve for use in a suspension component, such as a hitch knuckle for use in a suspension of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a one-piece bushing for use in a knuckle joint of a suspension of a vehicle having improved performance, cost, and other characteristics. Background technique [0004] It is commonly known that vehicles have a suspension system for providing a level ride, for managing the pitch, roll and yaw of the vehicle as it travels over varying terrain and to dampen or manage the acceleration and deceleration of suspension components under varying operating conditions . It is...
