Abstract: A suspension member and a method for manufacturing the same are provided by which it is possible to manufacture the suspension member at a low cost without decreasing rigidity thereof while also suppressing strain at joining portions. The present invention is a method for manufacturing a suspension member (100) provided with: a pair of side members (40), and a cross member (10) linking the pair of side members and including an upper member (11) and a lower member (21) extending in a lateral direction of a vehicle and provided with base portions (12 and 22) and raised portions (15, 16, 25, and 26).
