ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a vehicle thrust bearing comprising a rolling bearing forming a stop element (8), a support spring retainer (11), and an elastic support block (2), the rolling bearing including an upper race (12) arranged in an annular upper cap (16) forming a contact surface between said upper race (12) and the elastic block (2), a lower race (13). The device comprises an annular lower cap (17) forming a contact surface between the lower race (13) and the support spring retainer (11). The caps (16, 17) comprise each a thick portion (18, 22) and a thin portion (19, 23), the thin portion (19, 23) being located axially opposite the thick portion (22, 18) of the other cap, the lower (13) and upper (12) races being urged to be pressed on the thick portions (22, 18) of the lower (17) and upper (16) caps forming a rolling bearing with oblique contact.
