A linear hydraulic control unit for a motor vehicle comprises: a motor section (100) including a drive shaft (110) and a drive shaft seat (350), wherein said drive shaft (110) and said drive shaft seat (350) define an axis of rotation (A); a hydraulic block (150) secured to said motor section (100) and including a pump cavity (175) defining an axis of reciprocation (B) radially disposed from and otherwise generally parallel to said axis of rotation (A); a ball bearing assembly (360) mounted on said drive shaft seat (350) at an oblique angle with respect to the axis of rotation (A); and a pumping assembly (176) received within said pump cavity (175) and bearing against a portion (380) of said ball bearing assembly (360) that is radially disposed from said axis of rotation (A), wherein the lateral extents of said hydraulic block (150) generally corresponds to the lateral extents of said motor section (100) with respect to said axis of rotation (A).
