ABSTRACT:
A rebound cushion for a body mount is disclosed. The rebound cushion includes an outer cushion formed from an elastomeric material having a first durometer. The rebound cushion also includes an inner cushion formed from an elastomeric material having a second durometer, wherein the first durometer of the outer cushion is higher than the second durometer of the inner cushion. A clamp disk maintains the inner cushion in contact with the outer cushion. The outer cushion may include an annular lip for retaining the clamp disk. The separate inner cushion allows a vertical cushioning rate defined by the inner cushion to be designed and/or tuned independently from the lateral cushioning rate.
