An improved apparatus is provided for use in a vehicular suspension arm. A
through-hole is formed in one end of the suspension arm, and a bearing
fits centrally in the through-hole. A pair of cylindrical spacer members
are inserted into the opposed ends of the through-hole. Annular sealing
members are interposed between the cylindrical spacer members and the
through-hole. One end of the suspension arm is installed to the frame by
means of a bolt inserted through the bearing and the cylindrical spacer
members. At one end of each cylindrical spacer member, there is
integrally molded a flange portion, having a larger outer diameter than
the inner diameter of the through-hole. Using the described apparatus, it
is possible to substantially prevent water splash, earth and sand from
directly contacting the sealing member, in order to reduce the
possibility of contamination.
