A mold bonded chassis bushing has an outer housing and an inner member separated by a tubular gap. A body of elastomeric material is mold bonded into a first portion of the bushing such that it bridges and at least partially fills the gap. The elastomeric material does not fill or bridge the annular gap in a central area or a second portion of the bushing, such that a void is defined between the inner surface of the outer housing and the outer surface of the inner housing in the central area and second portion. A protrusion extends from the inner surface of the outer housing or the outer surface of the inner member, in the central area such that the void extends between the protrusion and the respective opposed surface. The protrusion functions as a travel limiter for the bushing without compressing the elastomeric material in the first portion.
