Claim:
A support structure for a stabilizer in which an outer peripheral face of a torsion portion of a stabilizer that connects left and right suspension systems is gripped by an inner peripheral face of a tubular stabilizer bush, and an outer peripheral face of the stabilizer bush is clamped under pressure and fixed between a mounting part of a vehicle body and a fixing member fixed to the vehicle body, wherein first and second radially inwardly extending recesses is formed in an intermediate section, excluding opposite end parts, in a direction of an axis of the outer peripheral face of the stabilizer bush, wherein when a cross-section of the stabilizer bush in the axis direction is viewed, a bottom face of the first and second recesses is formed substantially parallel to the axis direction, wherein the stabilizer bush has a slit formed therein that provides communication from the outer peripheral face to the inner peripheral face, and a third recess is formed on an end face in the axis direction of the stabilizer bush, the third recess configured and arranged so as to avoid the slit, and wherein the first recess is formed only on the vehicle body front side and the second recess is formed only on the vehicle body rear side of the torsion portion, and the stabilizer bush is fixed vertically.
