The subassembly includes an annular stiffening cup made from a metal material and mounted to the lower cap, and an annular damping device made from a resilient material and mounted to the stiffening cup. The stiffening cup having at least one protruding portion formed by stamping and that extends towards the damping device, the damping device being locally deformed by the protruding portion and forming a recess to receive the protruding portion.
