## Abstract

A structure for connecting a stabilizer bar and a lower control arm to each other, the structure includes a separate connecting member, elastic members, clamping bolts and nuts. The connecting member is composed of an upper fixture, a lower fixture and a supporter, and molded into one body with plastic materials. The elastic members are inserted on the inside of the fixtures. Bolts and nuts clamp both ends of the connecting member with the stabilizer bar and the lower control arm respectively.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A structure for connecting a stabilizer bar and a lower control arm to each other, the structure comprising:
a connecting member for connecting the stabilizer bar and the lower control arm to each other, the connecting member including a supporter, an upper fixture and a lower fixture, and being molded into one body with plastic materials;
the upper and lower fixtures having axial spaces respectively, the fixtures being respectively formed on upper and lower ends of the supporter and the spaces crossing at right angles each other with a predetermined distance;
elastic members which are inserted on the inside of the upper and lower fixtures;
bolts and nuts for clamping both ends of the connecting member with the stabilizer bar and the lower control arm respectively.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The structure of claim 1 in which the horizontal circumference of the one fixture in the supporter is, on the same plane, connected to both longitudinal ends of the other fixture.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The structure of claim 2 in which the supporter is, at its central part, formed with concaves having a diamond shape, the sizes of which are gradually reduced, concaves having a triangle shape which are respectively formed between the diamond shaped concaves, and ribs having a diamond shape which are respectively formed on the boundary of the diamond shaped concave and the triangle shaped concave.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The structure of claim 3 in which interior angles of the concave are respectively formed at 80 degrees.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The structure of claim 1 in which the connecting member comprises;
the supporter in which axial spaces of upper and lower fixtures are on the same direction;
the upper and lower fixtures being axially and linearly connected to each other by a connecting part;
lateral sides of the upper and lower fixtures, being, vertical to the axial direction, being connected to each other by longitudinal ribs;
the longitudinal ribs are, with uniform distances, connected to each other by a plurality of horizontal ribs;
a plurality of inclined ribs are formed in zig-zag pattern between the horizontal ribs.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The structure of claim 1 in which the connecting member is molded into one body with metallic materials.
