A bushing for rotatably supporting a bar-shaped suspension link comprises an elastomeric body having a central axis and including an axial bore adapted to re- ceive the suspension link therethrough. The bore in- cludes a circumferential surface having projected surface portions and recessed surface portions, the projected surface portions projecting radially inwardly to provide radial clearance between the suspension link and the re- cessed surface portions. Preferably, the projected sur- face portions include a plurality of first and second ridges projecting radially inwardly. The first ridges are substantially parallel to the central axis of the elastomeric body and intersect the second ridges at sub- stantially right angles to define therebetween the re- cessed surface portions. The preferred embodiment of the bushing of this invention further comprises a double-knit fabric liner covering the circumferential surface of the bore of the body. The fabric liner preferably is woven from-fibers of polyester and polytetrafluoroethylene and conforms to the contour of the projected and recessed surface portions of the axial bore. In addition, a meth- od of manufacturing the suspension bushing is disclosed.
