ABSTRACT:
A torque strut for an automobile engine is described as having a unique energy absorbing housing in which is mounted a unique energy absorbing device which has a block-shaped center piece from which a pair of resilient rubber shock absorbers extend in opposite directions for receipt in a pair of adjacent cavities which are formed in the housing. The farthest spaced opposing ends of the rubber shock absorbers are free of the housing, but are designed to compressively engage adjacent ends of the cavities and fill the cavities when the shock absorbers are compressively expanded in the cavities, as a result of forward or reverse roll of the engine. A rolling rubber torus with a special mechanism for interlocking engagement with the device, is provided to stabilize the position of the energy absorbing device within the housing of the torque strut.
