Abstract
A damper member is disclosed for retaining a torsion rod within cross-beam inverted channel-shaped rear axle. The damper member is normally U-shaped in cross-section having an upwardly opening central bore defined by vertically extending leg portions and a base portion. Upon the damper member being compressed into a D-shaped clearance between the channel and the rod its section is transformed for a U-shape to a C-shape. The unique design of the damper member enables it to be lockingly retained under pressure in the D-shaped clearance.
