ABSTRACT:
An upper MacPherson strut step bearing for wheel suspensions in a motor vehicle. The MacPherson strut step bearing includes a metallic housing that is pot-shaped in the vertical section, a rubber buffer arranged in the housing, and a support piece, which can be connected to a shock absorber and protrudes with radially extending projections into the rubber buffer that is rigidly connected to it. A radially directed housing flange forms an abutment for an annular spring buffer made of an elastomeric material, against which the top end of a coil spring of the MacPherson strut, which coil spring surrounds the shock absorber, is supported. Recesses, which influence the axial damping characteristic of the MacPherson strut step bearing, are provided in the spring buffer. The metallic housing is connected to a cover plate, which passes over at the outer wall into a jacket ring, which is directed downward and projects beyond the spring buffer.
