A shock absorber includes at least one of an expansion-side sensitive unit and a contraction-side sensitive unit. The expansion-side sensitive unit has an expansion-side actuating chamber that communicates with an expansion-side chamber and a contraction-side chamber, an expansion-side free piston that partitions the expansion-side actuating chamber into a first expansion-side pressure chamber and a second expansion-side pressure chamber, and an expansion-side spring element configured to bias the expansion-side free piston to compress the first expansion-side pressure chamber. The contraction-side sensitive unit has a contraction-side actuating chamber that communicates with a contraction-side chamber and a reservoir, a contraction-side free piston that partitions the contraction-side actuating chamber into a first contraction-side pressure chamber and a second contraction-side pressure chamber, and a contraction-side spring element configured to bias the contraction-side free piston to compress the first contraction-side pressure chamber.

A flow of hydraulic oil induced by sliding movement of a piston in a cylinder is controlled by a pilot-type main valve and a pilot valve, which is a pressure control valve, to generate a damping force. The pilot valve is adjusted in its valve-opening pressure with the thrust of a solenoid and adjusts the pressure in a back pressure chamber to control the valve-opening pressure of the main valve. A baffle plate is provided in a reservoir to isolate the surface of hydraulic oil in the reservoir from an inlet port through which the hydraulic oil flows into the reservoir from a damping force generating mechanism, thereby suppressing the occurrence of aeration and cavitation. The baffle plate is secured by inserting a connecting port through a positioning opening and holding a separator tube with a pair of arm portions.

A suspension device is equipped with a damper including a piston portion, a suspension spring, an upper seat, and a spring. The spring is arranged between the piston portion and the upper seat and is an elastic member for receiving a load from the damper. The spring has load characteristics in which hysteresis does not occur, whereby a dynamic spring constant can be small. Therefore, transmission of vibrations in a high-frequency range and an infinitesimal amplitude range is decreased. The spring has a main body that functions as a disc spring portion. Therefore, the spring constant in a direction perpendicular to an axis line of the damper is large, whereby stiffness in the direction perpendicular to the axis line is increased. As a result, ride quality is improved, and stable handling is obtained.
