ABSTRACT:
A resilient mount attaches the upper end of a MacPherson strut to vehicle body support structure. The mount comprises an annular mounting plate, an elastomeric ring, a central sleeve with an attached end plate, and a ball thrust bearing. The annular mounting plate, the central sleeve and the upper bearing ring of the thrust bearing are bonded to the elastomeric ring to form a subassembly. The mounting plate has a central cup-shaped portion which is embedded in the elastomeric ring and trapped between an enlarged head of the central sleeve and the end plate attached to it. The elastomeric ring has integral flexible lips at its lower end which retain the bearing elements and lower race ring and seal the ends of the thrust bearing.
