Abstract:
The suspension thrust bearing device for a motor vehicle comprises a rolling bearing forming an axial thrust bearing and provided with an upper ring, with a lower ring and with at least one row of rolling elements arranged between the rings, a bearing cap in contact with the upper ring, and a support cap in contact with the lower ring and forming a bearing means for a suspension spring. The support cap comprises a body of rigid material and seals of flexible material fixed to the body and comprising dynamic sealing lips in contact with the bearing cap or one of the rings of the rolling bearing and delimiting radially a sealed space containing at least the rolling elements of the rolling bearing. The support cap further comprises an annular ring to which the lower ends of the seals are connected and forming a bearing surface for the suspension spring.
