Abstract: A dust cover assembly including: a dust cover made of resin and having a bellows tube portion; and an upper insulator made of rubber attached to a top end of the dust cover. An engaging tube portion is integrally formed with an upper part of the bellows tube portion of the dust cover. At least one engaging groove opens onto an outer peripheral face of the engaging tube portion and extends in a circumferential direction. At least one locking protrusion is formed on an inner peripheral face of the upper insulator having an annular shape and protrudes toward an inner peripheral side, while extending in the circumferential direction. The engaging tube portion of the dust cover is inserted into the upper insulator, while the locking protrusion is inserted into the engaging groove and is locked therein in an axial direction.

Abstract: Semi-tubular portions of two partition members partitioning a bushing body into an outer rubber portion and an inner rubber portion are asymmetrically arranged with respect to a reference plane containing a central axis of the bushing body and parallel to two attachment surfaces of a bracket. In addition, each of the semi-tubular portions is configured to have a length equal to or larger than a diameter of a stabilizer bar, the length being from one end to the other end in a circumferential direction of the semi-tubular portion in a projection view obtained by projecting the semi-tubular portion to a horizontal surface in a vertical direction.

Abstract: A stabilizer bushing is provided which effectively reduces a torsional friction between a bushing body and a stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bushing includes a bushing body 16 made of a tubular elastic body, a sliding member 42 fixed to an inner circumferential surface of the tubular elastic body, and two partition members 26, 26 embedded in and bonded to a radially middle area of the bushing body 16. The partition members 26, 26 divide the bushing body 16 into an inner rubber portion 38 that is thin enough not to be elastically-deformed by a load applied thereto and an outer rubber portion 40 that is thicker than the inner rubber portion 38. Further, each of the partition members 26, 26 includes through holes 36a, 36b, 36c that are located so as to divide the partition member into a plurality of sections both in the axial and circumferential directions.
