ABSTRACT:
Conventional connections include a sleeve having a rubber bushing thereon and engaging through apertures in the pair of ears depending from the rear axle. The ends of the sleeve are externally screw threaded and relatively large nuts engage over the ends of the sleeve outside of each ear and are tightened so that the sleeve is frictionally held in position. These screw threads readily strip and when a bushing is worn, it is usual that new sleeves and nuts are required. With the present device, the sleeve engages through the ears and end caps engage over the ends of the sleeve and against the outside of the ears. A relatively small diameter high tensile bolt and nut assembly engages through the end caps, the ears and the sleeve and the nuts can be torqued so that the end caps bear against the ears and clamp the assembly in position. Much greater torque values can be used without danger of stripping and in one embodiment, means are provided to prevent any possibility of rotational movement of the sleeve when in use.
