Abstract

A gas spring for a vehicle suspension system includes a cylinder, a rod, and an accumulator. The rod is disposed within the cylinder, and relative movement between the rod and the cylinder changes the volume of a chamber formed between the rod and the cylinder. The accumulator is in gaseous communication with the chamber such that a continuous body of gas extends between the chamber and the accumulator.
