ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for assembling a combination shock absorber and air spring including a tubular shock absorber having an outer tube and a piston rod reciprocably projecting from one end of the outer tube, and an air spring consisting of a resilient diaphragm member having an outer wall portion connected to a cylindrical housing secured to the projecting end of the piston rod, an inner concentric wall portion secured to the outer tube, and a rolling wall portion formed between the inner and outer wall portions. The method comprises the steps of expanding radially outwardly and rolling back one end portion of a tubular resilient diaphragm member to form the outer wall portion and the rolling wall portion, fitting a retaining ring on the inner surface of the outer wall portion, fitting the tubular resilient diaphragm member on the outer tube of the shock absorber and securing the other end portion of the diaphragm member thereto, and securing the outer wall portion of the cylindrical housing by utilizing the retaining ring.
