SUSPENSION STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A suspension structure for vehicle includes a first plate, a second plate, and a first connecting portion. The first plate includes a flange portion which is bent with respect to a first flat plate portion. The flange portion of the first plate is overlaid on and bonded to a second body portion of the second plate. A portion facing the first flat plate portion in the first plate is open, and a first mounting surface is formable by press working in a single state with the bent first flat plate portion. A portion facing a second flat plate portion in the second plate is also open. The connecting portion is constructed by bringing the first flat plate portion and the second flat plate portion face-to-face with each other with a space between the first and second flat plate portions and spacing the first mounting surface and a second mounting surface.
