ABSTRACT:
A bushing for an automotive torque strut is described as having a resilient, elastomeric insert which is bonded to a rigid, inner sleeve, and provided with a plurality of resilient, elastomeric fingers which are flexible and not bonded to an outer sleeve or housing of the bushing. The fingers are specially located in the insert. In one embodiment, there are aligned pairs of oppositely disposed fingers which extend into large pie-shaped voids which are spaced on opposite sides of the inner sleeve. In the other embodiment, the insert is provided with radially oriented grooves and fingers which are alternately disposed around the inner sleeve.
