Axle clamp assembly top pad

摘要

An axle clamp assembly top pad for connecting a vehicle suspension component to an axle. The top pad comprises: a base member having a top surface and a bottom surface adapted to accept an axle; a first ear extending vertically from the top surface of the base member and having a bore; and a second ear spaced apart from the first ear extending vertically from the top surface of the base member and also having a bore. The second ear has a flattened top surface. The bores of the first and second ears are aligned. The second ear includes two sides extending at an incline from the base member upwards towards the flattened top surface. The flattened top surface is designed to selectively strike an axle stop mounted to a vehicle frame rail to prevent excessive vertical movement of an axle relative to the vehicle frame rail.
