ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an upper strut mount that allows rotation about three axes, accommodates the threaded end of a strut piston rod, is laterally stiff to almost completely eliminate side deflection, while maintaining a reasonable degree of vertical compliance. The strut mount uses a housing element to retain a spherical bearing between elastomeric bushings.
