The support has annular body (3) that surrounds an inner shock absorber (2) around longitudinal axis. An insert (4) forms an annular elastic piece and presents slits extending from end (8) towards end (9). The slits define metal reeds that extend along exterior surface (5) between a base and a head. The reeds are susceptible to be elastically deformed according to a radial direction oriented towards longitudinal axis (Z). Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a vehicle (b) a shock absorber assembly process.
