Abstract
The disclosure concerns an elastic articulation designed to be linked to a vehicle body suspension arm and capable of operating in torsion and of carrying a substantial part of the body weight, comprising an inner reinforcement 8, an outer reinforcement 9 enclosing the inner reinforcement, and an elastomeric sleeve 7, arranged between the inner and outer reinforcements and whereof the inner and outer peripheral surfaces are linked without any possibility of sliding to said inner and outer reinforcements. The disclosure is further characterized in that the outer reinforcement 9 is configured so as to be able to be fixed directly to the body of a vehicle, without any intermediate rigid support part.
