Embodiment Construction

[0023] The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the disclosure, application or uses. figure 1 A vehicle is shown in , which vehicle incorporates a suspension system having a shock absorber according to the invention and is generally designated by reference numeral 10 . Vehicle 10 has been depicted as a passenger car having front and rear axle assemblies. However, shock absorbers according to the invention may be used with other types of vehicles or for other types of applications. Examples of these alternative arrangements include, but are not limited to, vehicles incorporating non-independent front and / or non-independent rear suspensions, incorporating independent front and / or independent rear suspensions, or other suspensions known in the art system vehicles. Furthermore, the term "shock absorber" as used herein is intended to mean a damper in general and will thus include McPherson struts and other damper designs known in the ar...

Abstract

A shock absorber has a housing with a piston rod assembly disposed therein. A first rod guide member is secured within a first portion of the housing so as to be concentrically disposed about at least a portion of the piston rod assembly. A second rod guide member is secured within the housing adjacent the first rod guide member so as to be concentrically disposed about at least another portion of the piston rod assembly. An electronically controlled valve assembly is disposed within the second rod guide member and is in communication with the first rod guide member.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 947,169, filed July 22, 2013 and also claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 786,682, filed March 15, 2013. The entire disclosures of these above applications are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to a hydraulic damper or shock absorber for use in a suspension system, such as that used by a motor vehicle. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an improved rod guide assembly for a shock absorber. Background technique [0004] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0005] Shock absorbers are used in conjunction with a car's suspension system to absorb unwanted vibrations that occur during driving. In order to absorb unwanted vibrations, shock absorbers are usually conn...
