  • Patent number: 9963008
    Abstract: A stabilizer-bar holding device includes a bracket and a body for a vehicle, which hold a stabilizer bar. A normal line that is normal to each of a pair of mounted surfaces of a pair of mounted portions of the body is inclined with respect to an up and down direction of the vehicle. A holding surface of a holder of the body has a first holding surface that is a flat surface greater than each of the pair of mounted surfaces in angle of inclination with respect to the up and down direction. An up and down plane extending in the up and down direction through a central axis of the stabilizer bar extends through the first holding surface in a state in which the stabilizer bar is held by the stabilizer-bar holding device.
