ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary shock absorber assembly for use on a vehicle in combination with the original equipment shock absorbers and vehicle suspension system including a conventional shock absorber of the type having a piston rod extending from end thereof and a built-in return for the piston rod, a shaft extension secured to the depending extended end of the piston rod, a stop member secured to the end of the shaft extension, a second stop member disposed between the shaft extension and the piston rod, and a mounting bracket adapted to be slidably disposed on the shaft extension between the stop members thereon and secured to the suspension system of the vehicle such that when traveling over conventional road conditions, shock absorption is provided solely by the original shock absorbers and the vehicle suspension system with the mounting bracket assembly sliding along the shaft extension of the auxiliary shock absorber assembly with the movement of the vehicle suspension system and, upon encountering an abrupt irregularity in the roadway, the upward movement of the vehicle suspension system and mounting bracket assembly secured thereto causes the mounting bracket assembly to slide upwardly along the shaft extension tube and engage the upper stop member disposed thereon and force the piston rod into the cylinder of the auxiliary shock absorber thereby absorbing the additional shock of the vehicle's tire striking the irregularity in the roadway.
