DRIVE
August 1, 2001
Disclosed is a mounting structure for a suspension V-rod (9) which can establish firm connection of a V-rod to an axle (3) by fastening with unexcessive proper torque. Ends (14) of an oscillating pin (15) carried by a central bent end of the V-rod are aligned with brackets (11) on a center of the axle and are fastened to the latter by a plurality of pairs of bolts (16) and nuts (17). At least one pair of bolt and nut among the bolt and nut pairs and a bolt hole (18) mating with the one pair are tapered such that a bold head (16a) of the bolt and the nut (17) have tapered portions (19,20) formed on opposed end faces thereof and gradually decreasing in diameter toward each other and that the mating bolt hole (18) is complementarily tapered to snugly receive the tapered bolt head (16a) and the tapered nut (17).
