  • Patent number: 10428869
    Abstract: A suspension thrust bearing device for use with a suspension spring in an automotive suspension strut, and having a bearing with an upper annular part and a lower annular part. The lower annular part includes an axial hub and an outwardly projected radial flange extending from the axial hub, and the lower part has an exterior support surface that axially supports an upper end of a suspension spring by the intermediate of a damping device. The damping device provides an axial portion secured to an axial hub, and a radial portion secured to a radial flange. The axial hub of the lower annular part has a plurality of radially through recesses that are axially open on an axial lower end of the axial hub. The axial portion of the damping device includes a plurality of pins that radially inwardly protrude from the axial portion.
