1. A fluid mounting for connecting a supported member
to a supporting member, comprising:
(a) a housing formed to be attached to one of said
supporting and supported members;
(b) a first elastomer section which is loaded primarily
only in compression attached to said housing and defining at
least a portion of a first fluid chamber;
(c) a second elastomer section which is loaded primarily
only in shear attached to said housing and defining at least a
portion of a second fluid chamber;

first and said second fluid chambers;
(e) a piston formed to be attached to the other of said
supporting and supported members, said piston interacting with
said first and said second fluid chambers and said first and
said second elastomer sections such that relative movement
between said supported member and supporting member oscillates
a fluid through said at least one fluid passageway and back
and forth between said first and said second fluid chambers.
