Abstract
A suspension damper includes a tube and a damping piston assembly disposed within the tube and slidably mounted therein for reciprocal movement in the tube. The suspension damper also includes a piston rod extending through the tube and connected to the damping piston assembly, a rod guide assembly closing one end of the tube and a self-aligning rebound cut-off disc carried in the tube between the rod guide assembly and the damping piston assembly and cooperating with the rod guide assembly to provide a rebound cut-off effect and to compensate for misalignment between the piston rod and the damping piston assembly.
