Abstract
A suspension cradle is attached to a rigid frame of an automotive vehicle by towers secured to the ends of the cradle. Each tower is in the form of an upright hollow body having two channel-shaped parts facing one another and secured together. Each tower part has an apertured horizontal flange. The flanges are spaced apart, with the apertures in alignment. A bolt extends through the apertures and threads into a nut on the frame of the vehicle. The bolt, nut, spacer tube and flanges provide a stiff double-shear attachment. The flanges are prevented from collapsing when the bolt is tightened by a spacer tube extending between the flanges and sleeved on the bolt. A third apertured flange through which the spacer tube extends prevents the spacer tube from falling out of the tower during installation, shipping and assembly.
