Elastomeric bushing

An elastomeric bushing comprising:

• an inner sleeve;
• a travel limiter disposed around and directly engaging the inner sleeve;
• an elastomeric bumper disposed around and directly engaging the travel limiter;
• and
• an outer sleeve disposed around the inner sleeve, the travel limiter and the elastomeric bumper, the outer sleeve being spaced apart from the inner sleeve and directly engaging the elastomeric bumper, wherein the travel limiter includes a radially outwardly extending first protrusion and a radially outwardly extending second protrusion,
• the outer sleeve including first and second reduced diameter portions positioned at opposite distal ends of the outer sleeve,
• wherein a first portion of the elastomeric bumper is trapped between the first reduced diameter portion of the outer sleeve and the first protrusion, a second portion of the elastomeric bumper being trapped between the second reduced diameter portion of the outer sleeve and the second protrusion to restrict relative axial movement between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve,
• wherein the elastomeric bumper includes first and second circumferentially spaced apart voids axially extending therethrough, the travel limiter being radially moveable into the voids, wherein the voids of the elastomeric bumper are bounded by an outer web portion of the elastomeric bumper positioned adjacent to the outer sleeve and an inner web portion of the elastomeric bumper positioned adjacent to the travel limiter, a gap existing between the outer web portion and the inner web portion.
