ABSTRACT:
An elastomeric bushing for mounting a first member to a second member which permits limited articulation of one of the members relative to the other. The bushing comprises an inner element, an outer element, and a highly compressed elastomeric insert retained between the outer and inner elements, wherein the outer element further comprises an adjustable portion to permit limited reduction of the circumference of the outer element from a maximum circumference. The outer element is constructed to restrain the expansion forces of the highly compressed elastomeric insert to maintain substantially constant, the circumference of the outer element at a predetermined circumference, while being capable of withstanding the shear forces during installation without buckling or tearing.
