Abstract
A mount for attaching a suspension assembly to the rim zone of an aperture in the vehicle body has an outer flange which forms part of an antivibration unit to which the upper end of a shock absorber piston rod and a spring seat disc--forming part of the suspension assembly--are secured. The outer flange is tightened from below to the rim zone of the aperture by securing screws. The outer flange has an elongated, at least approximately oval-shaped outline and further, the outline of the aperture is of substantially lesser dimension than the length dimension of the elongated outer flange. The aperture has, at least in one direction, a diametral dimension that is slightly greater than the width dimension of the elongated outer flange. The diameter of the spring seat disc is sufficiently small to permit upward removal of the antivibration unit and the spring seat disc after removal of the securing screws and upon tilting the antivibration unit about a transverse axis thereof.
