Claim:
A suspension structure comprising: front and rear suspension links configured to swingably connect (i) a wheel support member configured to support a wheel, and (ii) a vehicle body member; and a bush configured to connect (i) a first member, which is one of the front and rear suspension links, with (ii) a second member, which is the other of the front and rear suspension links, or a link support member which is one of the wheel support member and the vehicle body member, wherein the bush comprises: an inner cylinder connected with one of the first and second members, an outer cylinder which includes an inside circumferential surface confronting an outside circumferential surface of the inner cylinder of the bush and which is connected with the other of the first and second members, an elastic member interposed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder of the bush, and a protruding portion which protrudes from one of the inside circumferential surface of the outer cylinder and the outside circumferential surface of the inner cylinder toward the other to compress the elastic member, wherein the protruding portion compresses the elastic member such that an elastic force of the elastic member in a vertical direction is greater than an elastic force of the elastic member in a side direction.
