ABSTRACT:
PCT No. PCT/US79/00177 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 19, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 19, 1979 PCT Filed Mar. 19, 1979 Ser. No.
An energy-absorbing preloaded pad assembly (17,117) for use in stabilizing relatively movable portions of a structure, such as vehicle structure (10). The stabilizing pad assemblies may be utilized for stabilizing oscillations of a stabilizer bar (12) relative to a frame (11) of a vehicle (10) and may include preloaded pads (19). A removable clamp (21,121) cooperates with a cover plate (20,120) of the pad assembly to provide the desired preload to the pad and permit facilitated installation of the stabilizer bar in the vehicle structure, such as to permit ready installation of the pivot structure (113). Upon assembly of the vehicle structure, the removable clamp (21,121) is disassembled permitting reuse thereof with other similar pad assemblies. Removal of the clamp frees the pad for stabilizing functioning in the assembly in the normal manner. In one form, the pad baseplate is secured to the stabilizer bar by bolts disposed substantially at the neutral axis of the stabilizer bar and in another form, the baseplate is retained on the stabilizer bar by a pair of downwardly turned securing portions (132 a,123b) and an end tongue (138).
