Abstract:
A handling strut connects the powertrain of an automobile to a structural member, such as a panel in the engine bay. The handling strut is comprised of two strut members, one connected to the powertrain, the other connected to the structural member. A shaft attached to one strut member, extends through a bushing provided in the other strut member and an air gap is provided between the bushing and the shaft, such that when the engine is idle, or not accelerating, and in the absence of hard cornering, the strut members are decoupled. The isolation of the strut members when not required to control engine roll, reduces/avoids transmission of noise, vibration and/or harshness.

Claim (Index 18):
A handling strut according to  claim 1  where the first or second strut member includes a clevis arranged to receive the other strut member, the other strut member including the bushing and the clevis arranged to be connected to the shaft, wherein the clevis is provided with opposing perforations through which a bolt extends, to hold a sleeve in place.
