A tubular shock absorber including a tubular case protruding from a side of a main body portion of the shock absorber. A piston (5) with a piston rod (6) coupled thereto is inserted in a cylinder sealingly containing oil, and a damping force is generated by controlling a flow of the oil generated by movement of the piston with use of a damping force generation mechanism (25). The damping force generation mechanism is contained in a cylindrical case (26) protruding from a side of an outer tube (3), and the damping force generation mechanism is fixed by threadably attaching a nut member (34) to a male screw portion (50) of the case. An O-ring is disposed between an outer circumferential surface of the case and an inner circumferential surface of the nut member to seal an uncoated male screw portion from the outside. |
