Hello
Is anybody help me design rubber bushing with vulcanized inner sleeve with radial Z axe stiffness twice much as radial stifness in Y axe. I know how easy is make it using inner and outer sleeve, of course. The problem is that I have to make it using one sleeve only.
The only solutions for now I think of non cylindrical outer shape inner sleeve. Different rubber thickness will give me different characteristic in Y and Z axis.
The other solution will be different shape of rubber - but I think that it will not be good.

Thank you
Gregor D
