Claim Text:
1. A stabilizer bar support device for resiliently supporting a stabilizer bar of a vehicle on a vehicle body member of the vehicle, comprising: a bush made of elastic material, the bush having a through hole, into which the stabilizer bar is inserted; and a bracket made of metal, the bracket having, wherein the bush can be compressively deformed by being pressed by the body part of the bracket toward the vehicle body member when the first and second fastened parts are fastened to the vehicle body member, wherein an amount of compressive deformation of a center part of the bush in an axial direction of the through hole is smaller than an amount of compressive deformation of an end part of the bush in the axial direction of the through hole, wherein the center part of the bush to be pressed by the inner peripheral surface of the body part of the bracket has a valley-like shape recessed toward the vehicle body part of the bracket has a mountain-like shape elevated away from the vehicle body member, wherein the body pan of the bracket has a valley-like part recessed away from the vehicle body member and a mountain-like part elevated toward the vehicle body member, the valley-like part of the body part of the bracket being able to press the valley-like part of the bush while tightly contacting the valley-like part of the bush, the mountain-like part of the body part of the bracket being able to press the mountain-like part of the bush while tightly containing the mountain-like part of the bush, and wherein the space of the part of the bush to be pressed by the inner peripheral surface of the body part of the bracket and the shape of the part of the body part of the bracket which presses the bush are configured such that the amount of the compressive deformation of the bush gradually increases from the valley-like part of the bush toward the top of the mountain-like part of the bush in the axial direction of the through hole and the amount of the compressive deformation of the bush gradually decreases from the top of the mountain like part of the bush toward the end part of the bush in the axial direction of the through hole.
