Abstract
A MacPherson type suspension strut in which an air suspension spring boot mounted on a steerable strut housing connects into a boot end cap in turn rigidly secured to the piston rod of the strut shock absorber adjacent the upper end thereof. The piston rod is pivoted to an upper mount so that the piston rod turns with the strut housing on steering input. The pneumatic seal between the boot end cup and piston rod is therefore static for improved sealing performance and service life.
