ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly for a stamped MacPherson strut front suspension includes an angular contact ball bearing with stamped upper and lower races. The lower race is seatable on a bearing seat of the cylindrical reservoir of the damper while the upper race is engaged with the lower surface of a lower spring seat. A combined shielding and retaining wall has an upper wall engageable with the upper surface of the lower spring seat and a cylindrical inner wall engageable with the lower race to retain the bearing and lower spring seat together as a subassembly separable from the suspension. When assembled in the suspension, the upper wall of the shielding is maintained spaced from the upper surface of lower spring seat by the force of the suspension coil spring to allow free turning of the bearing.
