Abstract
An elastomeric mounting suitable for use in the suspension of an off-road vehicle comprises two rigid end members ( ) maintained spaced apart by an intervening tubular body ( ) of elastomeric material which defines a central chamber ( ), a connecting member ( ) arranged to extend through the central chamber to interconnect the end members ( ) and serve at least to resist more than a predetermined separation of the end members, and buff member ( ) provided to act in series with the connecting member ( ) at a position between said connecting member and one ( ) of the rigid end members thereby to cushion the transmission of force between the end members when the connecting member is loaded in tension.
