laterally of the pivot axes thus accommodating some linkage deflection as shown in fig3 a typical connection at each pivot of the links or struts 51 and the respective cross link 57 includes a pair of side members 110 formed by a bifurcation of one link as shown link 51 a pivot pin 111 is mounted in the side plates 110 through bearings 112 for free rotation the hub 114 of the joining link has an inner sleeve 115 secured to an elastomeric bushing 116 the inner bore of the elastomeric bushing 116 engages the outer surface of pin 111 the pin freely rotates about its axis in bearings 112 for pivoting while the hub 114 and its respective cross link can twist about an axis perpendicular to the pivot pin axis a limited amount slight end clearance is provided between the plates 110 and the inner sleeve 115 fig3 a illustrates a modified pivot connection for pivots such as 16 21 22 64 65 and 81 the central member of the pivot is shown typically at 125 it supports an outer housing 126 having an elastomer sleeve 127 under the sleeve a bearing tube 128 passes through the elastomeric sleeve and can be bonded to the elastomer the tube 128 carries bearings 129 that mount a pivot pin for rotation the pivot pin connects the second member to the first member through the elastomeric sleeve which permits limited twisting while permitting free pivoting the pivot connection at pivot 107 uses the same type of connection but is slightly modified the rotatable joints at 52 57 and 81 holding the struts 51.
