Stabilizer bar bushing attachment assembly

A vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle frame;
• a bushing attachment assembly including:
• a bracket assembly including:
• an outer pre-compression component having at least two outer pre-compression end portions, each of the outer pre-compression end portions include at least one first retention feature, and
• an inner retention component having at least two inner retention end portions, each of the inner retention end portions including at least one second retention feature, the inner retention component configured to be coupled with the outer pre-compression component and secured between the respective outer pre-compression end portions, the inner retention component and outer pre-compression component defining a cavity therebetween;
• an annular bushing disposed within the cavity formed between the outer pre-compression component and the inner retention component, the annular bushing having a first bushing surface in contact with the outer pre-compression component, a second bushing surface in contact with the inner retention component, and at least two opposing bushing faces, the annular bushing defining a central bore extending longitudinally between the at least two opposing bushing faces;
• a vehicle stabilizer bar configured to be secured within the central bore of the bushing;
• a bracket mount configured to couple the bushing attachment assembly to the vehicle frame, the bracket mount including:
• a first flange member, a second flange member, and an outwardly protruding flange portion, each of the respective first flange member and second flange member having a receiving end and a connector end, and defining at least one bore hole, the outwardly protruding flange portion configured to extend from the connector ends of each of the respective first flange member and second flange member;
• at least one fastening feature configured to couple the bracket assembly and annular bushing to the bracket mount, the at least one fastening feature secured within the at least one bore holes defined by the outer pre-compression end portions, the at least one bore holes defined by the inner retention end portions, and the at least one bore holes defined by each of the respective first and second flange members;
• and
• wherein the at least one first retention feature is configured to engage the at least one second retention feature to secure the annular bushing between the outer pre-compression component and the inner retention component, the outer pre-compression component applying and maintaining a compressive load upon the first bushing surface and the inner retention component applying and maintaining a compressive load upon the second bushing surface.
