[Object] Damage to a surface of a resin bush caused by press-fitting is prevented even when a configuration for positioning during welding is added.

[Solving Means] A rolled collar (40) is a steel rolled collar into which a resin bush (90) is pressed-fitted, and which is joined to a joining member by welding. The rolled collar includes a main body part (50) formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, and a clinch part that joins both end surfaces of the main body part together by fitting. The rolled collar includes a notch part (70) formed by cutting off a portion of an annular edge (53) in the main body part. Here, a convex jig determining a position of the main body part at a time of welding is fit into the notch part. The rolled collar includes a cavity part (80) formed to be hollow from an inner circumferential surface side on a wall surface around the notch part to form a clearance (81) between the press-fitted resin bush and an edge portion (71) of the notch part on the inner circumferential surface side.

A ball joint assembly includes a ball stud, a generally cylindrical bearing, a housing and a retainer which retains the bearing in the housing, The generally cylindrical bearing has an upper end, a lower end, a generally cylindrical exterior sidewall, an upper flange located between the upper end and a ring groove formed in the exterior sidewall, a lower flange proximate the lower end and extending outwardly from the exterior sidewall and a socket cavity that opens toward the lower end. The ball portion of the ball stud is engaged in and retained within the socket cavity. The bearing is secured within the housing in a bore within the housing by virtue of the working of the lower flange which is located within a counterbore of the housing and the upper flange and retainer located in the ring groove. Ball joints of the type described are able to resist a pull-out force of greater than 650 lbs and up to about 1200 lbs. They may also be sealed by incorporation of a dust boot which is attached to extends between the housing and the stud portion of the ball stud.

A connection of a suspension strut to a body of a motor vehicle is provided. Motor vehicles, and in particular passenger motor vehicles, have a suspension strut for each wheel. The lower end region of the suspension strut is joined to the wheel suspension, while the upper end region of the suspension strut is connected to the body of the motor vehicle. For this purpose, the upper end region of the suspension strut has a holder by which the suspension strut is connected to the body. The holder is detachably connected to a body element of the body that extends substantially in parallel with the longitudinal extent of the suspension strut in the flat connecting region.

A stabilizer apparatus for a vehicle includes a first stabilizer bar connected to a first side suspension arm of the vehicle, a second stabilizer bar connected to a second side suspension arm of the vehicle, an inner case connected to the first stabilizer bar, an outer case that accommodates the inner case therein and is connected to the second stabilizer bar, and rotatably connected to the inner case, a torsion bar having a first end connected to the inner case and a second end connected to the outer case, stoppers arranged at predetermined intervals in the inner case, and a stopping member disposed at the outer case and placed between the stoppers.
