ABSTRACT:
An annular resilient member remedies a noise and vibration problem experienced with certain MacPherson strut assemblies after these assemblies have been in normal use for about a year. These strut assemblies include: a first member adapted to be attached to a vehicle body; a second member spaced from the first member and mounted adjacent to a shoulder on the piston rod of the strut assembly; a rubber member disposed between and secured to the first and second members; and an inverted, bell shaped retainer member that is mounted on the piston rod and that extends through the central opening of the first member so that the side of the retainer member engages the first member. The annular resilient member is disposed on the piston rod between the piston rod shoulder and the second member.
