ABSTRACT:
A bushing assembly for a vehicle suspension system includes first and second bushing components that are fixed to a central pin. The pin is supported on a suspension component and includes pin ends that are mounted to an axle housing component. A washer is supported on the pin between the first and second bushings and abuts against inboard edges of the first and second bushings. An outer retaining tube surrounds the first and second bushings and the washer. The outer retaining tube includes opposing deformed end portions that directly engage outboard edges of the first and second bushings to form axial load carrying surfaces for the first and said second bushings.
