Abstract
A method of manufacturing a bushing assembly that includes a vibration damping rubber bushing having a round cylindrical resin outer cylinder, which is assembled by press fitting an outside peripheral face of the outer cylinder in an axial direction into a cylindrical metal mated component having a circular inside peripheral face. The vibration damping rubber bushing is press fit into the mated component with a rigid powder composed of material harder than the outer cylinder deposited in a section of the resin outer cylinder that is situated on the outside peripheral face and that mates with the inside peripheral face of the mated component, and the outer cylinder and the mated component are assembled in a mated condition such that the rigid powder intervenes between the outside peripheral face of the outer cylinder and the inside peripheral face of the mated component.
