<p>A fluid-damped resilient bush, e.g. for use in a vehicle suspension comprises an outer sleeve (11) and an intermediate sleeve (12) between which a rubber bush (13) is moulded as a one-piece moulding. Cavities (36, 38) are formed between the intermediate sleeve and an inner member (10), which is mounted within the one-piece moulding and sealed to the one-piece moulding by axially separate annular areas of the moulding which engage but are not bonded to the inner member. The cavities communicate with one another and are filled with damping fluid, the arrangement being such that displacement of the outer sleeve relative to the inner member causes displacement of fluid between the cavities.</p> |
