The elastic bodies include: a pair of end elastic bodies (31) fitted in the outer cylinder; and a pair of intermediate elastic bodies (32) separately arranged on both sides of the inner attachment member and between the end elastic bodies. Covering members (17) that form liquid chambers (14a, 14b) between the covering members and the inner attachment member is arranged between the inner attachment member and the outer cylinder. An orifice passage that provides communication between the liquid chambers is formed between the covering members and the outer cylinder. The entire intermediate elastic bodies are formed of rubber material. The covering members surround the entire circumference of the inner attachment member from outside thereof in a radial direction and cause compressive deformation of the intermediate elastic bodies inward in the radial direction and inward in a circumferential direction.

A variable stiffness bushing assembly includes an inner tubular member, an outer tubular member coaxially surrounding the inner tubular member, and an elastic member connecting the inner and outer tubular members. The elastic member defines a pair of first liquid chambers that are on opposite sides of an axial line of the inner tubular member and communicate with each other via a first circumferentially extending communication passage defined between one of the outer yokes and the annular large diameter portion, and a pair of second liquid chambers that are on opposite sides of the axial line and communicate with each other via a second circumferentially extending communication passage defined between another one of the outer yokes and the annular large diameter portion. The magnetic fields generated by the two coils are selectively applied to a magnetic fluid flowing through the first communication passage and the second communication passage.

A liquid filled bushing assembly includes an inner tubular member (11), an outer tubular member (12) disposed in a coaxial relation to the inner tubular member, and an elastic member (13) interposed between the inner tubular member and the outer tubular member, wherein not only the stiffness of the liquid filled bushing assembly in the lateral directions can be freely selected but also the stiffness of the liquid filled bushing assembly in the rotational direction and/or the axial direction can be freely selected.
