<p>A vehicle suspension strut and air spring combination having a simplified means of attaching and sealing the upper end of the air suspension sleeve around the strut is provided, wherein an inner ring is placed within the upper end of the resilient air spring sleeve, and a cap for attaching the air spring sleeve to the extendable strut rod receiving the inner ring and upper end of the spring sleeve. The cap is subsequently crimped, retaining and sealing the upper end of the air spring sleeve between the inner ring and the cap. The sealed assembled end yields fewer parts for assembly as well as a clear upper outer surface of the cap, decreasing the risk for sources of corrosion to collect.</p> |
