ABSTRACT:
A torsion bar is coupled at a rear end thereof to a floating member which is disposed inside a cross member. A bush is press-fitted into a pipe fixed to the floating member. A collar is attached to an inner periphery of the bush. The collar, which is disposed inside the cross member and axially extends substantially in parallel with the torsion bar, is fixed by a bolt. A force acting on the torsion bar in a fore-to-aft direction with respect to a vehicle body is applied to the bush as an axial shear force. A counterforce generated by torsional deformation of the torsion bar is applied to the bush as a radial compressive force.
