Abstract
A pair of bushing including an outer member having an outer main body and an outer flange; an inner member having an inner main body inserted into the outer member, an inner flange, and a through hole; and an elastic member disposed between the outer member and the inner member. The bushings are press-fit into a top aperture and a bottom aperture of a bushing-attaching hole in a suspension cross-member, respectively. When each bushing is press-fit into the apertures there exists a predetermined clearance between the inner members. For fixing the suspension cross-member to vehicle body, a stud is inserted through the respective through holes and a nut is fitted onto a stud and screwed until the inner members abut each other.
