Abstract

A slipper bushing assembly including a series of concentric members for permitting controlled sliding movement between a support element and a movable element. The concentric members of the slipper bushing assembly include a rigid one piece inner metal member joined to the support element, a hollow cylindrical elastomeric member, a rigid, one piece hollow outer metal member, a solid slip surface and structure for preventing the inner metal member from disengaging from the outer metal member. The inner metal member has a pair of opposing ends and an outer cylindrical-like surface. The elastomeric member encircles the outer surface of the inner metal member and has a pair of opposing ends, an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer metal member is joined to the movable element and has a pair of opposing ends and an outer cylindrical surface. The slip surface is contiguous to the inner or outer surface of the elastomeric member and coextensive therewith.
