Abstract
A suspension bushing joint, rather than clamping the inner sleeve of the bushing directly between spaced walls on a support bracket, clamps the bushing sleeve between one wall of the bracket and an expandable sleeve anchored to the other bracket wall. The expandable sleeve extends through an initially oversized circular opening in the other bracket wall and is anchored thereto by being expanded outwardly by a conical expander portion of a bolt. No forces are generated that would tend to deform the walls toward one another.
