McPherson front corner module assembly with banana or s-shaped spring

摘要

A strut assembly includes a strut having an upper and lower spring seat attached to it. A spring is disposed between the upper and lower spring seat. In its uncompressed state, the spring seat has a non-linear shape such that when it is compressed it exerts a lateral force on the strut. The non-linear shape of the spring in its uncompressed state is designed to allow the insertion of the strut through the spring when the spring is in its uncompressed state.
