Abstract
A load management striker cap (LMSC), a method of forming the load management striker cap and a suspension system having the load management striker cap for a vehicle provide a cost-effective solution to manage a high load capacity in vehicles by absorbing surplus and extremely high energy transmitted by impact from a jounce bumper. The load management striker cap avoids transmission of the impact force to the frame of the vehicle as well as reduces failure of the suspension system components.
