Provided herein is a fluid duct () comprising a fluid duct connection end portion () for coupling to a component connection end portion () via a sealing ring (), the fluid duct connection end portion comprising a clamping ring seat () configured for receiving an adjustable clamping ring therearound, the clamping ring seat () extending axially (A) between an entry flange () and a tube joining section (), the tube joining section () extending into a fluid duct tube portion (). The clamping ring seat () comprises an extension fold () configured to allow the clamping ring seat () to expand radially due to a widening of the expansion fold ().

Fluid duct

Provided herein is a jounce bumper () for mounting in a vehicle suspension system () comprising a shock absorber (), the jounce bumper () having a central bore () extending in an axial direction (A). The jounce bumper () comprises an elastically compressible bumper portion () comprising a plurality of convolutes stacked in an axial direction (A) of the jounce bumper (), each convolute comprising a crest () and a root (). A cross-section of the compressible portion () perpendicular to the axial direction (A) is non-circular, the non-circular shape being configured to provide a variable compression resistance in relation to an axial compression displacement (Cd) of the jounce bumper ().
