PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shock absorber which is insulated from influences of a lateral load.SOLUTION: A shock absorber 10 applies resistance to a working fluid thereby generating a damping force and includes: a cylinder 11 filled with the working fluid; a piston 16 having an outer peripheral surface which slides on an inner peripheral surface 11A of the cylinder 11; a rod 15 which is coupled to the piston 16 and protrudes from the cylinder 11 to an exterior part; and a head 19 which slidably supports an outer peripheral surface 15A of the rod 15. An amorphous carbon film 24 is formed on the inner peripheral surface 11A of the cylinder 11. |
