<p>An elastomeric mounting suitable for use in the suspension of an off-road vehicle comprises two rigid end members (11, 12) maintained spaced apart by an intervening tubular body (13) of elastomeric material which defines a central chamber (26), a connecting means (36) arranged to extend through said central chamber to interconnect said end members (11, 12) and serve at least to resist more than a predetermined separation of the end members, and buffer means (37) provided to act in series with the connecting means (36) at a position between said connecting means and one (12) of the rigid end members thereby to cushion the transmission of force between the end members when the connecting means is loaded in tension.</p> |
