A zero or limited resistance isolation bearing comprising a tubular outermost sleeve, an elastic or resilient member located adjacent to and inside the outermost sleeve, and an innermost sleeve assembly consisting of a tubular inner member and a tubular outer member that are threadably interconnected. The threadable interconnections are properly sealed at the ends, and a lubricant is supplied in and around the threadable interconnections to allow zero or limited resistance to torsional rotation of the inner member of the innermost sleeve assembly relative to the outer member of the innermost threaded sleeve assembly. Such bearings are useful as automotive suspension components, such as, for example, for use in connective members of control arms at the automobile frame.
