Abstract
A shock absorber assembly for an automotive vehicle suspension prevents transmission of vibrations such as road shocks. The shock absorber assembly has a resiliently shock absorbing spring seat retaining a suspension coil spring. The spring seat is adapted to absorb relatively low-amplitude, high-frequency vibrations and thus prevent the shock absorbing assembly from surging. The spring seat has resilient characteristics in which the minimum damping force occurs at a position normally maintained by the vehicle and in which the spring seat becomes rigid in response to relatively high-amplitude vibrations.
