A vehicle suspension bushing assembly including an inner sleeve, a bearing, an intermediate sleeve, an outer sleeve, and a bushing. The inner sleeve extends longitudinally between first and second inner sleeve ends. The bearing extends annularly about the inner sleeve, the intermediate sleeve extends annularly about the bearing, and the outer sleeve extends annularly about the intermediate sleeve. The bushing is positioned radially between the outer sleeve and the intermediate sleeve. Axial retainers extend annularly about the first and second inner sleeve ends. The axial retainers are longitudinally moveable relative to the inner sleeve. The axial retainers have a preload feature including a flange segment that is resilient and deflects from an unbiased position when the axial retainers are in an uncompressed position to a biased position when the axial retainers are in a compressed position to apply a longitudinal preload force to the intermediate sleeve.
