ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for mounting a wheel axle and associated disc brake on a strut, particularly for use at the steerable front wheels of a motor vehicle with a front wheel drive, includes a first and a second component which are separatably connected to one another in the assembled condition of the mounting arrangement. The first component is secured to the strut and has a cup-shaped configuration. The second component has a central sleeve-shaped portion which abounds a passage in which the wheel axle is supported by a bearing interposed between the wheel axle and the sleeve-shaped portion. The second component also has two support arms which brake shoes of the disc brake are guided for movement toward and away from a disc rotor which rotates with the wheel axle. Two elongated guiding elements are secured to the second component, and a brake caliper is guided thereon for movement parallel to the axial direction of the wheel axle. The caliper carries a cylinder-and-piston unit of the disc brake, which includes a piston that directly acts on the brake shoe close to it, and a cylinder which transmits a reaction force via a bridge portion of the caliper to the other brake shoe. The second component further has an attachment arm to which a steering link can be connected. The first component has a cup-shaped configuration, thus bounding a recess in which a shaft seal surrounding the wheel axle is protectedly received, and in which a bearing socket for a suspension link is secured.
