Abstract
A bushing assembly, such as for a vehicle suspension, includes inner and outer sleeves, a bushing disposed radially between the inner and outer sleeves, and a two-piece bar pin. The two-piece bar pin is configured such that a first inboard end of a first bar pin component is received in one end of the inner sleeve and a second inboard end of a second bar pin component is received in the other end of the inner sleeve. One or both of the first and second inboard ends of the first and second bar pin components has a closed end bore such that the first and second bar pin components cooperate to form a closed cavity within the two-piece bar pin assembly for weight saving purposes when the first and second inboard ends of the first and second bar pin components are pressed into the inner sleeve.
