A MacPherson strut type suspension including a shock absorber operatively disposed between vehicle wheels and a vehicle body of a motor vehicle, the shock absorber having a piston rod; a coil spring disposed in association with the shock absorber to elastically support the vehicle body; a core member secured to an end of the piston rod of the shock absorber; an insulator rubber securely connected between the core member and the vehicle body; and a stop device for restricting the movement of the core member in the axial direction of the piston rod of the shock absorber when the axial movement of the piston rod exceeds a predetermined distance, thereby effectively damping high and low frequency vibrations applied to the suspension while prolonging the life of the insulator rubber.
