Abstract
The suspension bump thrust device for a motor vehicle comprises a lower supporting cover 20, an upper elastic bearing seat 18 designed to be attached to the chassis of the motor vehicle, and a rolling bearing 22 forming an axial thrust placed axially between the supporting cover and the bearing seat. The bearing comprises a lower ring, an upper ring and at least one row of rolling elements placed between the said rings. The bearing seat comprises an axial retention means 34d for the supporting cover arranged on a skirt 34c of the said seat and interacting with a complementary axial retention means 50e for the said cover. A cup 36 for reinforcing the bearing seat forms the upper ring of the rolling bearing. The reinforcing cup 36 comprises an axial portion 36a resting against the skirt of the bearing seat and a radial portion 36b radially extending the axial portion inwards.
