Abstract:
A bearing device includes two co-axially arranged radial spherical bearings and can be used for mounting a pivoting swing arm of a vehicle suspension to a vehicle frame. By using the two radial spherical bearings together the pivot attachment only has a single degree of freedom. The radial spherical bearings are positioned against shoulders in a sleeve of the swing arm and around a spacer sleeve. One or more lubricant grooves are formed at the sliding interface of the bearings. A bushing with a lip holds a lubricant seal for each bearing, and a dust cover protects each lubricant seal. A pivot pin rod is inserted through openings in the vehicle frame and through the two bearings and other components, and is tightened in place such as with a nut.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the first end of the sleeve comprises a first shoulder on its inner diameter, with the first bearing being pressed into the first end of the sleeve into abutment with the first shoulder, and wherein the second end of the sleeve comprises a second shoulder on its inner diameter, the second shoulder being longitudinally spaced in the sleeve from the first shoulder, with the second bearing being pressed into the second end of the sleeve into abutment with the second shoulder.
