Claim:
1. A bush for supporting a stabilizer rod against a vehicle body, said bush comprising: a base material provided for attachment to the vehicle body and having an opening formed therein into which the stabilizer rod can be inserted; an inter-ring integrally attached to the base material and extending around the opening, wherein a portion of the base material is disposed inside of the inter-ring; and a surface layer made of a self-adhesive elastic material and integrally formed inside of the inter-ring and disposed at an inner circumferential surface of the opening, the surface layer having a thickness smaller than a wall thickness of the portion of the base material disposed inside of the inter-ring, the surface layer having a through-hole formed therein to receive the stabilizer rod, wherein the self-adhesive elastic material allows the surface layer and the stabilizer rod to be brought into intimate contact with each other while being inhibited from slipping relative to each other, in a state in which the stabilizer rod is inserted through the through-hole of the surface layer, and wherein the opening of the base material, exclusive of the surface layer, has an inside diameter set to be smaller than an outside diameter of the stabilizer rod in a state in which the stabilizer rod is not inserted through the through-hole of the surface layer.
