Pivot bearing unit for a vehicle wheel assembly

摘要

A pivot bearing unit consists of at least one support comprising two shell parts for receiving individually insertable steering links. The support includes a section with the shell parts abutting one another and forming a bearing for a damping strut. The shell parts include a further pair of respective abutting surfaces which form a bearing support for a brake caliper. The shell parts also have respective spaced apart sections for supporting a central pin, which in turn accommodates a brake disc and wheel.
