A bolster spring for vehicle suspension comprising:
- a flat base plate;
- a top plate;
- an intermediate plate positioned between the top plate and the flat base plate;
- elastomeric material positioned between the flat base plate and a bottom surface of the intermediate plate, and another elastomeric material positioned between a top surface of the intermediate plate and the top plate;
- a first flange comprising a pair of ears having a bottom mounting surface upwardly extending from a first end of the flat base plate at an angle ½α;
- and
- one or more mounting holes positioned in the pair of ears in the first flange adapted for attachment to a pair of ears on an upwardly extending flange on a second bolster spring;
- wherein the one or more mounting holes on the pair of ears on the first flange have a gap positioned therebetween;
