Abstract
A spring aid assembly for a vehicle suspension system. The spring aid assembly includes: a housing having a generally cylindrical cavity formed therein, a damper including a rod extending through a cap, and a spring aid having a proximal end retained within the cavity of the housing, a distal end extending in an axial direction away from the housing, and an outer circumferential groove formed therein. The cavity in the housing is bounded by a generally cylindrical inner peripheral wall that has a plurality of axially and radially extending projections extending therefrom. A ring is positioned in the outer circumferential groove of the spring aid. The ring provides a positive stop to the spring aid assembly and prevents the cap of the damper from coming into direct contact with the housing during full compression of the damper.
