The design procedure of the basic kinematic and geometrical characteristics on an example of one of them is offered. The analysis of the carried-out researches allowed to prove constructive characteristics of the offered technical solutions with reference to cars UAZ ¨C 451§®, ZIL ¨C 131§£ and to the carriage, and also to other rail and trackless vehicles. Results of researches are recommended to design, research and machine-building structures for their possible use in practice. %K Damper %K Rod %K Piston %K Cylinder %K Fluctuations %U http://article.sapub.org/10.5923.j.ijtte.20120103.01.html
