Abstract

A mounting structure of an automobile stabilizer bar includes a support bracket fixed at one end thereof to a lateral surface of a crossmember. The other end of the support bracket protrudes out toward the side of a vehicle body. At least one bushing is coupled to a stabilizer bar and affixed onto the support bracket. A bushing bracket is formed in an arch shape for enclosing the periphery of the bushing. A stud bolt is attached at one end to each outer surface of the bushing bracket. The other end of the stud bolt penetrates each lateral surface of the support bracket. A pipe member into which the stud bolt penetrates is coupled to each lateral surface of the support bracket. A coupling nut is coupled to one end of the stud bolt after the stud bolt passes through the pipe member.
