Abstract
A front fork in a two-wheeled vehicle or the like, wherein an annular groove in which both end portions in an axial direction are closed is formed in an upper inner periphery of an outer tube. An annular bush having a closed gap in a free state is attached to the annular groove. An annular gap between an inner periphery of the outer tube and an outer periphery of the inner tube forms a smaller thickness than the bush.
