1. A rotating support device for a torsion beam, the torsion beam which can be coupled to a support pillar, the rotating support device comprising:
a clamp which can be coupled to the support pillar comprising a cylindrical inner area,
a bushing intended to be a positioned inside the clamp that is configured to rotate together with the torsion beam with respect to the clamp, the bushing comprising:
at least one lower part comprising a first central sector which longitudinally has an outer area with a partially cylindrical shape complementary to the cylindrical inner area of the clamp, two lower distal sectors that include first projections that extend in height with respect to the first central sector and that constitute a stop in a longitudinal direction that prevents the lower part from coming out of the clamp, and a lower cavity;
at least one upper part comprising a second central sector which longitudinally has an outer area with a partially cylindrical shape complementary to the cylindrical inner area of the clamp, a rear upper distal sector that includes a second projection that extends in height with respect to the second central sector and that constitutes a stop in a longitudinal direction, a front upper distal sector comprising a slot and an upper cavity, wherein the upper cavity is configured to face the lower cavity such that they form an aperture intended to house the torsion beam; and
at least one retaining part configured to be inserted into the slot such that in an installed configuration the retaining part protrudes in height with respect to the central sector of the clamp to prevent movement of the bushing with respect to the clamp in a longitudinal direction.
