Abstract
A suspension thrust-bearing device for a telescopic suspension strut of a motor vehicle which includes a rolling bearing forming an axial thrust stop, a metal cup for accepting a suspension spring, and an elastic support block. The rolling bearing is positioned between the metal cup and the elastic support block which is secured to the frame of the motor vehicle. The rolling bearing includes an upper race placed within a cap which is in contact with the support block, and a lower race. The cap is provided with means for axially retaining the metal cup, to form a unit assembly, and acts as an interface between the upper race and the elastic support block. An outer cylindrical portion of the cap covers the periphery of the metal cup.
