to improve tracking and vibration-damping
1Strut mounts
Strut mounts are installed on the upper part of the suspension, where they connect the suspension to the body in a manner that prevents vibrations and mechanical shocks from being transmitted to the body. Primarily, they receive input from the shock absorber, coil spring, and bump stopper. These integral-molded parts are manufactured by using cure adhesion to combine metal fittings and injection-molded components, and are made primarily from natural rubber that has been formulated to optimize rebound characteristics.
2Trailing bushings
Trailing bushings are rubber bushings that are press-fit into links to control vertical and longitudinal movement of the suspension. These parts feature optimal shapes and rubber materials so that they can improve tracking and ride comfort. These integral-molded parts are manufactured by using cure adhesion to combine metal fittings and injection-molded components, and are made primarily from natural rubber that has been formulated to optimize rebound characteristics.
3Lower arm bushing
Lower arm bushings are rubber bushings that are installed on the lower part of the suspension and press-fit into the front of the vehicle to control vibrations transmitted from the tires. These parts have been optimized in terms of their structure and the rubber materials they use so that they can deliver a sophisticated blend of tracking and ride comfort. These integral-molded parts are manufactured by using cure adhesion to combine metal fittings and injection-molded components, and made primarily from natural rubber that has been formulated to optimize rebound characteristics.
