Abstract
The restoring coil spring of a vehicle shock absorber can be seated on an annular elastomeric pad that is equipped with a reinforced peripheral flange adapted to maintain the lowermost convolution of the spring on the elastomeric pad should the spring break during service. An annular steel band is incorporated into the elastomeric flange to provide a reinforced flange structure resistant to radial deformation.
