One of the pair of dampers is a magnetic viscous fluid damper configured to use a magnetic viscous fluid whose viscosity is changed by an action of a magnetic field as a working fluid, while the other of the pair of dampers is a liquid-pressure damper configured to use a liquid such as oil, water, an aqueous solution and the like as the working fluid.
