Abstract
A resilient member having preselected properties is disposed on a bolt securing an elastomeric bumper to a vehicle body bumper stay for biasing the elastomeric member against the bumper stay with a force which remains within preselected limits despite expansion and creeping of the elastomeric bumper. The hole in the bumper stay and the hole in the elastomeric bumper through which the bolt is disposed are of different diameters, or one is elongate to allow the bolt and the elastomeric bumper to move in a plane normal to the axis of the bolt.
