Patent ID: 8025274

Claim:
An elastomeric insert bearing for supporting a substantially axial extending shock absorber stem of a vehicle shock strut on a vehicle body and for fitting in a body-side mount, including a rigid core comprising an axial throughway for securing the stem, an elastomeric body radially surrounding the core at least in part and two outer shell parts arranged inline axially and surrounding the elastomeric body at least in part, characterized in that in a prefitted condition the two outer shell parts are captively secured to the elastomeric body thereby forming between them an axial spacing for a joining movement axially such that the elastomeric body is precompressed for a fitted condition, wherein each outer shell is associated with a surrounding ring-shaped elastomeric body portion, such that both elastomeric body portions in combination define a recess extending radially inwards from a radial outer side, in the region of radial centerline, characterized in that in the fitted condition the recess has a delta shape.
