Abstract

An abutment element 11 is fixed to the upper element 7 of the suspension strut below the flexible joint 5 which connects the upper element to the structure 1 of the vehicle. This abutment element cooperates, in order to limit the "relaxation" movements, with a support element 12 disposed below the abutment element and connected to the structure. Such an arrangement facilitates the placement of a hydraulic device 6 above the flexible joint 5. Application in motor vehicle suspensions.
