Abstract
A strut mount includes: an inner member coupled to a suspension; an outer bracket having an outer cylinder portion housing the inner member, and a flange portion protruding radially outward from the outer cylinder portion and coupled to a vehicle body; an elastic member interposed between the inner member and the outer cylinder portion; and a seal member interposed between the flange portion and the vehicle body. The seal member includes an annular portion located between the flange portion and the vehicle body, and a first downward extending portion extending downward from an outer peripheral portion of the annular portion toward the opposite side from the vehicle body. The flange portion includes a placement surface portion which faces toward the vehicle body and on which the annular portion is placed, and a first sidewall portion extending from an outer peripheral portion of the placement surface portion to the opposite side from the vehicle body. A first engaging portion of the first downward extending portion and a first engaged portion of the first sidewall portion are engaged with each other to reduce axial movement of the annular portion placed on the placement surface portion.
