Abstract:
A suspension system is disclosed for use with a mobile machine. The suspension system may have a link with a first eye formed at a first end and a second eye formed at a second end, and a bearing disposed within each of the first eye and the second eye. The suspension system may also have a pin configured to pass through the first eye and the first hearing, and an oscillation limiter disposed on the pin adjacent the link. The oscillation limiter may he ring-shaped and split at a first side, and have a flex portion at a second side that allows the oscillation limiter to flex open and be installed on the pin from an annular side of the pin.
