BEARING ASSEMBLY FOR STRUT ARRANGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026931 titled 'BEARING ASSEMBLY FOR STRUT ARRANGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a strut bearing assembly and an improved cap for the assembly. The cap has a first bearing pocket to receive a portion of the bearing assembly, an outer edge with a mating element to connect with a top mount, and an inner projection with a bearing surface to support the top mount. The top mount can be attached to a car body. The strut bearing assembly includes a guide ring with a guide sleeve to interface with a shock absorber spring, and a second bearing pocket to receive another portion of the bearing assembly.
