Abstract
A MacPherson strut assembly is provided that has a hydraulic cylinder with a fluid chamber. A piston is arranged in the chamber, and a rod extends from the piston. A lower spring seat is supported on the hydraulic cylinder, and an upper spring seat is supported on the rod. A coil spring is arranged between the spring seats to produce a desired spring loading. In one embodiment, a compliant isolator having a sloped profile is arranged on the lower spring seat to produce an uneven spring loading. In another embodiment, a spring seat isolator may include materials of a different stiffness to produce uneven spring loading. An isolator may also be used between coils of the spring so that the compression on one side of the spring is limited more that the opposite side to produce uneven loading.
