wherein said cushion portion has an axially extending bearing aperture extending from at least a portion of said first side to at least a portion of said second side of said cushion portion; wherein at least a portion of said bearing assembly received and/or retained within at least a portion of said axially extending bearing aperture in said cushion portion; wherein said cushion portion has one or more first extending portions and/or one or more second extending portions extending outward from at least a portion of said outer peripheral surface of said cushion portion; a bracket portion having an inner surface and an outer surface; wherein said inner surface of said bracket portion has a shape that is complementary to said outer peripheral surface of said cushion portion; and wherein said bracket portion has one or more first receiving portions and/or one or more second receiving portions extending from said inner surface to said outer surface of said bracket portion; and wherein said one or more first receiving portions and/or one or more second receiving portions are of a size and shape to received and/or retain at least a portion of said one or more first extending portions and/or one or more second extending portions therein, characterised in that said one or more first and/or second receiving portions in said bracket portion further comprises one or more radially extending portions; and said one or more radially extending portions of said one or more first and/or second receiving portions in said bracket portion divides said one or more first and/or second receiving portions into one or more articulation portions and one or more locking portions. a bearing assembly having an inner race, an outer race and one or more rolling elements interposed between said inner race and said outer race;
