Zusammenfassung:	A dampening suspension assembly for a washing machine appliance is provided. The washing machine appliance has a cabinet and a tub mounted within the cabinet. The dampening suspension assembly includes a suspension rod extending between the tub and the cabinet. The dampening suspension assembly also includes a foam damper assembly circumferentially surrounding a portion of the suspension rod. The foam damper assembly includes a capsule, a first foam friction element disposed in a first trough of the capsule, and a second foam friction element disposed in a second trough of the capsule radially opposite the first foam friction element. The first foam friction element is compressed between opposing sidewalls of the first trough and is compressed against the suspension rod. The second foam friction element is compressed between opposing sidewalls of the second trough and is compressed against the suspension rod.
