PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the sealing capability of a suspension arm mounting part and to restrain an increase in cost for enhancing the sealing capability, by improving a suspension arm mounting structure. SOLUTION: At one end of a suspension arm 38 a through hole 182 is opened, into which spherical surface sliding bearings 183 are inserted together with a pair of cylindrical members 186 being inserted from both the end openings of the through hole 182 regulating the shift of the spherical surface sliding bearings 183. Sealing members 187, 187 are intermediately provided between these cylindrical members 186 and the through hole 182, thereby allowing one end of the suspension arm 38 to be fitted onto a vehicle body side bracket 166 by means of a bolt 167 piercing through the spherical surface sliding bearings 183 and the pair of the cylindrical members 186, thus integrally forming, at one end of the cylindrical member 186, a brim part 196 having the outside diameter D1 larger than the inner diameter D2 of the through hole 182. It follows then that, with such a simple structure as the brim part is integrally formed at one end of the cylindrical member, it becomes possible to prevent the seal member from being directly splashed with water or earth and sand, thus enhancing the sealing capability and restraining an increase in cost.
