A structure for a bushing disposed between inner and outer cylindrical members arranged concentrically to each other, comprises an elastical member fitted into the inner periphery of the outer cylindrical member, a substantially cylindrical slidable member disposed between the inner cylindrical member and the elastical member, and a projecting lip portion formed on at least one of the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylindrical member and the inner circumferential surface of the slidable member, such that the projecting portion keeps in contact with the opposing circumferential surface with a small contact area and defines a slight aperture between the outer periphery of the inner cylindrical member and the inner periphery of the slidable member.

Structure for bushing

A dust seal for a sliding type bush is interposed between a stationary section and a movable section. The dust seal has a fitting portion fitted to the stationary section, a seal lip portion in sliding contact with the outer circumferential surface of the movable section and a flexible portion interconnecting the fitting portion and the seal lip portion. The dust seal is further provided with an annular projection held in contact with a flange and the outer circumferential surface of the movable section. The seal lip portion is held axially stationarily relative to the movable section.
