Abstract: A stabilizer link includes a support bar and a ball joint. The ball joint includes a ball stud having a ball portion and a stud portion. The stabilizer has two end portions, each of which includes an attachment portion for joining the stabilizer link. The attachment portion has a through hole, through which an elastic member provided at the stud portion is attached to the attachment portion. The elastic member includes a body portion and tab portions. The stud portion is joined to the attachment portion through the elastic member in such a manner that while the elastic member is attached to the through hole, the body portion abuts on an inner circumferential wall portion of the through hole and the tab portions are located to cover circumferential edge portions of the through hole.

Abstract: An end turn portion of a coil spring includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion is always in contact with a spring seat irrespective of the magnitude of a load applied to the coil spring. The second portion contacts the spring seat when the load applied to the coil spring is large, and is separated from the spring seat when the load is small. The third portion is always separated from the spring seat irrespective of the magnitude of the load. An insulating sheet made of a material having rubber elasticity is attached to a lower surface of a wire at the end turn portion by means of adhesive bonding. The insulating sheet is provided on a lower surface of a region including at least the second portion.

Abstract: A coil spring includes a wire formed of spring steel shaped to be helical, and is compressed between an upper spring seat and a lower spring seat. The coil spring includes an upper portion and a lower portion. A positive pitch winding end portion is formed on the upper portion of the coil spring. A terminal-point-strong-abutting-portion is formed at a distal end of the winding end portion. The terminal-point-strong-abutting-portion is in contact with the upper spring seat at one point at a position deviated to an inner side of a vehicle with respect to a coil central axis. On the lower portion of the coil spring, an end turn portion which contacts the lower spring seat is formed at a position deviated to an outer side of the vehicle.
