Abstract

A shock mounting system for affixing a motor driven pump, a plurality of hydraulic valves and accumulators, and motion sensing devices to a vehicle to minimize the transmission of noises to the hydraulic unit and the vehicle. Each mounting point comprising a mounting stud fixed to the vehicle, a hole in the hydraulic unit, a resilient bushing received in the hole, and a plurality of cylindrical segments having outer surfaces contacting the bushing and inner surfaces contacting the stud. Each stud urges the corresponding segments radially outwardly into compressing engagement with an inner surface of the resilient bushing. Each segment includes a retaining rim and each mounting stud includes a corresponding retaining ledge which, upon adequate penetration of the stud into the bushing, allow the segments to collapse under the urging of the resilient bushing radially inwardly inter-engaging the rim and ledges to hold the stud within the bushing.
