Abstract
An extended section is provided on a head of a mounting bolt used to mount attached components, such as a front suspension member, a rear suspension member, and a rear stability brace, to a floor panel of a monocoque body. The extended section extends along the axis of the mounting bolt in a direction opposite to a threaded section. A male screw is formed on the extended section. Mount brackets of the vehicle body vibration damping apparatus can be mounted to the male screw.

A vehicle body vibration damping apparatus and mounting structure comprising
- hydraulic damping force generation means formed in a long shape for generating damping force with respect to deformation in the longitudinal direction, and
- each end of the damping force generation means comprising a mount section adapted to secure the vibration damping apparatus to a body frame in a bottom section of a vehicle,
- an extended section being provided on a head of a mounting bolt used to mount an attached component to the bottom section of the body frame, the extended section extending along an axis of the mounting bolt in the direction opposite to a threaded section,
- a male screw is formed on the extended section, and the mount section of the vehicle body vibration damping apparatus is mounted to the male screw.
A vehicle comprising a body frame, a fastener connecting a suspension component to the body frame, the fastener having a first threaded region and a second threaded region, the first threaded region used to secure the suspension component to the body frame and the second threaded region used to secure the fastener to an elongated vibration damping apparatus such that a first torque level can be used to secure the suspension component to the body frame and a second torque level can be used to secure the vibration damping apparatus to the vehicle.
