Abstract:
1. A suspension thrust bearing device adapted to receive a shock absorber piston rod along a main axis, the device comprising: a single bearing forming an axial thrust bearing and including an inner race, an outer race and rolling members disposed between the inner race and the outer race, and at least one intermediate member adapted to transmit to the inner race essentially axial forces exerted on the device by a suspension spring, wherein the inner race is substantially S-shaped, and at least one of the inner race and the intermediate member extend(s) radially beyond the outer race in the direction of the main axis, forming a bearing surface for fixing and centering the shock absorber piston rod relative to the device; wherein the inner race extends radially beyond the outer race and the intermediate member in the direction of the main axis to form the bearing surface for fixing and centering the shock absorber piston rod relative to the device.
