Abstract
A suspension device of a motor-vehicle wheel includes a support member of the wheel connected to a structure of the motor-vehicle by one or more suspension members and a brake disc connected in rotation with the motor-vehicle wheel. The device also includes a brake disc cover rigidly connected to the support member and at least partially surrounding the brake disc. The brake disc cover is formed in a single piece with said support member of the motor-vehicle wheel.

A suspension device of a motor-vehicle wheel, including:
- a wheel support member, connected to a structure of a motor-vehicle by one or more suspension members,
- a brake disc connected in rotation with the wheel, and
- a brake disc cover rigidly connected to said wheel support member and surrounding, at least partially, said brake disc,
- wherein said brake disc cover is formed in a single piece with said wheel support member,
- wherein said wheel is a drive wheel and said wheel support member with which the brake disc cover is formed in a single piece, is a wheel knuckle, which rotatably supports a wheel pin, and
- wherein said brake disc cover comprises attachment points for connecting a brake caliper associated with said brake disc of said motor-vehicle wheel.
A suspension device of a motor-vehicle wheel, including:
- a wheel support member, connected to a structure of a motor-vehicle by one or more suspension members,
- a brake disc connected in rotation with the wheel, and
- a brake disc cover rigidly connected to said wheel support member and surrounding, at least partially, said brake disc,
- wherein said brake disc cover is formed in a single piece with said wheel support member,
- wherein said wheel is a drive wheel and that said wheel support member with which the brake disc cover is formed in a single piece, is a wheel knuckle, which rotatably supports a wheel pin, and
- wherein said brake disc cover comprises a first and a second peripheral covering portion, said first peripheral covering portion being arranged so as to cover a spherical joint of an oscillating arm of said suspension device and said second peripheral covering portion being arranged so as to cover a spherical joint of a steering system associated with said suspension device.
A suspension device of a motor-vehicle wheel, including:
- a wheel support member, connected to a structure of a motor-vehicle by one or more suspension members,
- a brake disc connected in rotation with the wheel, and
- a brake disc cover rigidly connected to said wheel support member and surrounding, at least partially, said brake disc,
- wherein said brake disc cover is formed in a single piece with said wheel support member,
- wherein said wheel is a drive wheel and that said wheel support member with which the brake disc cover is formed in a single piece, is a wheel knuckle, which rotatably supports a wheel pin, and
- wherein said brake disc cover comprises two upper attachment points on its face intended to face towards an inside of the motor-vehicle in its assembled condition, provided for connection to a bracket carrying a stem of a shock absorber of said motor-vehicle, said upper attachment points having main axes directed along an essentially horizontal direction and being essentially parallel to each other.
