Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to spare tire damper assemblies for a vehicle and methods for reducing vibration. The assemblies can include a support frame configured to secure a spare tire thereto and a first adjustable isolator positioned with respect to the support frame. A second isolator is positioned in series with the first isolator so that adjustment of the first isolator adjusts a static preload of the second isolator.

Abstract:
A manual transmission shifter includes a reaction arm mounting the shifter to a transmission via a bushing. The bushing includes a resilient member having a tubular section lining a mounting hole in the arm and having a flange extending around the hole. The bushing includes a rigid cup member having an inner sleeve disposed within the tubular section and having a cup rim defining a recess between the inner sleeve and cup rim with a predetermined depth. The flange has a thickness greater than the predetermined depth and is inserted in the recess to create an open gap between the cup rim and the arm. A fastener extends through the inner sleeve to attach the cup member to a transmission bracket. The resilient member attenuates vibrations through the bushing. The arm is provided with a limited range of longitudinal rotation by contact of the arm with the cup rim.
