ABSTRACT:
An improved suspension strut (10, 134, 178) for use in motor vehicle suspension systems is disclosed which integrates serially connected variable and fixed rate spring means (84, 104) with friction damping means (108). The use of variable rate spring means enables the suspension strut to be designed so as to provide a vehicle ride frequency which more closely approaches the desired optimum ride frequency for the particular vehicle over substantially the entire load range of the vehicle.
