Integrated steering suspension module for a vehicle

An integrated steering suspension module for a vehicle suspension system, comprising:

• a shock absorber strut;
• a suspension upright bearing superiorly the shock absorber strut;
• an outer ring of a wheel hub unit or of a rolling bearing forming part of the wheel hub unit, the outer ring being attached integrally to a front face of the suspension upright;
• wherein:
• the suspension upright consists of a cup-shaped body delimiting on the inside thereof a concavity and entirely made of a continuous metal sheet, which has been sheared and bent, the cup-shaped body comprising:
• a bottom wall defining, on the side opposite to the concavity of the cup-shaped body, said front face of the suspension upright;
• a first and a second side wall arranged at the sides of the shock-absorber strut and integrally connected in one piece and continuously to the bottom wall;
• and a third side wall arranged transversally to the first and second side walls and integrally connected in one piece with the first and second side walls latter and with the bottom wall, on the side opposite to the shock-absorber strut, to which the third side wall it is facing;
• said outer ring is provided integral in one piece and radially cantilevered by a steering arm extending transversely cantilevered from the cup-shaped body, on the side of the first side wall and sideways to the cup-shaped body;
• the shock-absorber strut is constrained integral to a top of the cup-shaped body, opposite to the third side wall, within a first interface of the cup-shaped body, which is defined by a first seat of the cup-shaped body made at least partially within the concavity of the cup-shaped body;
• and
• the integrated steering suspension module further comprises a brake caliper support comprising in turn a pair of lugs or studs machined integral in one piece with the outer ring and extending radially cantilevered from the outer ring, on the side opposite to the steering arm, the brake caliper support resulting to be integral with the cup-shaped body at least via the outer ring;
• the outer ring being fixed to the cup-shaped body, integrally therewith, by means of an annular flange arranged radially on the outside of the outer ring and by means of at least one plurality of connecting organs including screws or bolts;
• a first pair of said connecting organs being housed in the concavity of the cup-shaped body and crossing the bottom wall thereof to engage said flange and, simultaneously, also said lugs or studs to secure the flange and the lugs or studs against the front face delimited by the bottom wall of the cup-shaped body;
• said first pair of connecting organs terminating with respective fastening pins for a brake caliper, projecting cantilevered from the lugs or studs, on the side opposite to the cup-shaped body, perpendicularly to said front face.
