A rubber sheet includes: a main body formed into an arc shape or an annular shape; a seating portion formed into a groove shape at the main body, a coil spring being configured to be seated on the seating portion; and a deformation restricting portion formed to project outside in a radial direction from an outer periphery of the main body at a position, on which a terminal portion of the coil spring is seated, of the main body, the deformation restricting portion being configured to restrict deformation of the main body.

Suspension device

A rubber sheet includes: a main body fitted to a mounting portion formed so as to be depressed at the spring guide, the main body supporting a coil spring; and lips formed to project from respective side surfaces of an inner periphery and an outer periphery of the main body in a radial direction, the lips being configured to abut on the spring guide to prevent a foreign matter from invading between the main body and the mounting portion.

A spring guide includes: a mounting portion formed so as to be depressed, the rubber sheet being fitted to the mounting portion; and a plurality of lock pieces formed to stand at an outer periphery of the mounting portion. At least one of the plurality of the first lock pieces and the second lock piece is disposed at a position that restricts deformation of a circumferential end portion of the rubber sheet to an outside in a radial direction, in a state where the rubber sheet is fitted to the mounting portion.

Spring guide and suspension device

To provide a suspension arm (), in which a flange switching portion () where an outward flange () and a second inward flange () are switched with each other is provided between the second inward flange () extending at least between an inner wall () of a second vehicle-body attachment portion (A) and a concave wall portion (), and the outward flange () extending over the concave wall portion () of a third vertical wall () and a rear wall () of a first vehicle-body attachment portion (A), corresponding to a portion where a lower end of the concave wall portion () is suspended downward without folding the lower end of the concave wall portion ().

Suspension arm for vehicle

A dust boot includes a tubular boot body and an annular flange portion linked to an upper end of the boot body. In an outer side of the flange portion, an angle between the flange portion and a line perpendicular to an axis of the boot body is set to be larger than 0&#xb0; and smaller than 90&#xb0;.

A cylinder device includes a cylinder that has one end from which a piston rod extends, a pipe-shaped cover member that has an extendable bellows portion and a small-diameter portion whose inner diameter is smaller than an inner diameter of the bellows portion, the cover member being configured to protect the piston rod, and a capping member fitted into the cylinder, the capping member having a convex portion to which the small-diameter portion of the cover member is locked, at an outer periphery, wherein at the small-diameter portion of the cover member, a bulge portion that bulges outside in a radial direction is formed.

Cylinder device and cover member

A shock absorber includes a shock absorber body, a suspension spring, a spring seat, and a spring rubber seat. The seat surface of the spring rubber seat is formed inclined so as to be higher toward a distal end within a predetermined range from the distal end where a spiral portion of the suspension spring becomes apart to a side where the spiral portion of the suspension spring abuts. A concave portion surrounded by a portion abutting on the spring seat is formed on a lower side of the predetermined range in a lower part of the spring rubber seat.

Shock absorber

A suspension arm mounting structure comprises: an arm body section () which is disposed between a wheel and a vehicle body and which is configured from a plate-shaped member; a rubber elastic body () which is provided between the arm body section () and the vehicle body; and a shaft section () which is extended from the arm body section () in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, is press-fitted or fitted in the through-hole () of the rubber elastic body (), and has a tube-like shape or a closed cross-sectional shape. The shaft section () has a pressing section () which causes both end surfaces of the plate-shaped member to face each other and press against each other so that the opposing end surfaces are in contact with each other so as to press against each other.
