Claim Text:
1. A resilient elastomeric member for disposition between ends of coaxially aligned inner and outer components with ends disposed in axially translatable reciprocally slidable telescoping relation comprising: an elastic energy absorbing hollow elastomeric body having an inner surface sized to receive the end of the inner component and an outer surface sized for disposition within the end of the outer component, said hollow elastomeric body including an attachment portion for securement to the outer component and a support portion for supporting the inner component, said attachment portion comprising a continuous ring extending radially outward of said attachment portion to limit movement of said body relative to said outer component, wherein said elastic energy absorbing hollow elastomeric body elongates to absorb energy on reciprocal movement of the end of the inner component into the end of the outer component and possesses sufficient resiliency to return to its original shape after the elongation force is removed.
