Abstract
A vehicle suspension link may include a bushing, a knuckle, a link arm operably coupled to the knuckle via the bushing at a ring formed at one end of the link arm, and a coupling assembly disposed between the knuckle and the bushing. The coupling assembly may include a serrated face and a one-way install feature extending out of a plane of the serrated face to permit orientation of the bushing in the ring such that the serrated face is oriented toward the knuckle, and prevent orientation of the serrated face away from the knuckle.
