A flow rate control valve is provided in a discharge passage which connects a pressure regulating chamber and a damping valve. The flow rate control valve includes a valve body having a flow path which defines a part of the discharge passage, and a valve member disposed in such a manner as to be reciprocal along the flow path. The valve member is normally separated from a valve seat formed on the valve body by the acton of a spring in order to open the flow path. When subjected to pressure supplied from the pressure regulating chamber, the valve member is brought into contact with the valve seat to close the flow path. The valve member is provided with an orifice which provides communication between the flow path and a portion of the discharge passage on the side which is closer to the pressure regulating chamber.
