Method for manufacturing vibration isolation apparatus

A method for manufacturing a vibration isolation apparatus the vibration isolation apparatus including:

• an inner member shaped into a cylinder or a shaft;
• an outer cylinder provided around the inner member;
• and an elastic body provided between, and connecting, the inner member and the outer cylinder, the elastic body including elastic parts each arranged in different positions separated from each other in a circumferential direction between the inner member and the outer cylinder, the method comprising:
• molding the elastic parts separately;
• compressing the elastic parts in which the elastic parts are pressed against the positions such that the elastic parts are separated from each other in the circumferential direction and in which the elastic parts are provided to the inner member so that the elastic parts are compressed to have a size equivalent to a size in which the elastic parts fit between the inner member and the outer cylinder;
• press-fitting the inner member and the elastic parts integrally into the outer cylinder while the elastic parts are kept compressed;
• and
• fastening the elastic parts to the inner member and the outer cylinder.
