- the figures have been oriented according to the system of axes X, Y, Z defining the usual orientation of a motor vehicle, and in which:
- the X axis is the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, oriented from rear to front;
- the Y axis is the transverse axis oriented from right to left;
- the Z axis is the vertical axis oriented from bottom to top.
- Figure 1 shows a structure 2 of a motor vehicle, comprising conventionally an apron 4 separating the passenger compartment 6 of the vehicle from its engine compartment 8.
- the apron 4 extends over the entire width of the vehicle between two liners of wing 10.
- Each wing liner 10 comprises a curved area, attached and welded, forming a wheel well 12, intended to surround the upper part of a front wheel of the vehicle, not shown.
- a suspension comprising a suspension damper 14 is fixed to the structure 2 of the vehicle at each wheel arch 12.
- the suspension damper 14 is connected at its lower end to the wheel of the vehicle, also by a not shown ball joint, the upper end of this damper 14 is connected to the structure 2 of the vehicle by a conventional fastening device which will not be detailed here.
- the wheel arch 12 comprises on its inner side facing the engine compartment 8 of the vehicle a housing 16, in which the body 18 of the damper 14 and its displaceable rod 20 are housed. in translation inside this body.
- the upper portion of the housing 16 is capped with a closure member 22 for retaining the damper 14 and to allow its operation.
- the closure member 22 has a first substantially planar surface 22a disposed in a plane substantially perpendicular to the vertical axis Z and substantially vertically disposed flanges 22b adjacent said first surface 22a.
- the first surface 22a of the closure element 22 is adapted to allow the attachment of the upper end of the damper 14, and holes for allowing the passage of fasteners are formed on the first surface 22a.
- first surface 22a is also adapted to allow the operation of the damper and in particular its displacement, and comprises for this purpose an orifice 34.
