Abstract
A distance ring is provided for constraining retraction of a hydraulic cylinder in applications including a steering rod in a vehicle suspension. The distance ring comprises an outer body of a rigid material lined by an inner body of flexible material, with the inner body having an opening of substantially identical dimension to that of the cross-section of the steering rod. A vehicle steering cylinder assembly including the distance ring mounts it together with a number of similar but unlined rings to adjust permitted travel of a steering cylinder rod.
