Abstract
Vehicle suspension strut with quick take-apart upper mount featuring a jounce bumper retainer which can be turned from a locked to an unlocked position and axially removed for jounce bumper service and to allow access to service the strut through the engine compartment so that the expense of removing the strut and spring is eliminated. The design effectively eliminates prior upper spring seat designs and is simple and inexpensive and readily accommodates high service loads.
