Abstract
A spring seat member includes a seat body having a seat portion and a shaft portion extending from the seat portion, and attachment members attached to the seat body. The spring seat member is attached to a coil spring in a state where the attachment members are attached to the seat body. The shaft portion has a groove on the outer periphery thereof that extends in the circumferential direction. The attachment members are provided with engaging portions that engage with the groove of the shaft portion. The engaging portions are selectively and elastically deformable inward or outward in the radial direction of the shaft portion. The groove has an inner wall facing the seat portion. The inner wall has an inclined surface. The inclined surface is inclined radially outward of the shaft portion as the distance from the seat portion in an extending direction of the shaft portion increases.
