Russian term

полушка

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Steering/suspension
An item listed as a component of a vehicle suspension system; Yandex has such references as:
Крышки кронштейнов рессор устанавливайте и затягивайте болты при выпрямленной рессоре, иначе ***полушки*** могут занять неправильное положение и быстро ...
Squinting at the faint diagram accompanying the translation and cross-referring to Internet sites and to my car's manual makes me think that it may be a 'bush' or 'compliance bush'. It is at the top of the spring/shock absorber assembly.
Can anyone confirm my suspicions? (I am more familiar with making adjustments to large steam locomotives, which requires the delicate application of a 10-lb sledge hammer :-))

thinks it is. As for me - I don't know. I'd rather have an image of what I'm translating, because it would help a lot. Other than that, it was just my opinion. Others well grounded ones are always welcome too

thank you Andrey for your comments, although, itstead of making personal ones and wasting your time, you could as well have tried and help John by making a point why you think it's not what I think it is and why you think it's what the other person

no wonder the russian letters Л and Д are adjacent on the ЙЦУКЕНГ keyboard...

TleNur: The typo makes sense, but it's interesting that it's repeated quite a bit on Yandex!
