DAMPING FORCE GENERATION DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

A damping force generation device (10) for a vehicle includes a shock absorber (16) including a cylinder (12) and a piston (14). The shock absorber is coupled to a vehicle body (22), a wheel carrier (26), and the like at a rod part (14R) of the piston and the cylinder, respectively, and is configured to generate a damping force due to a flow resistance when oil (76) passes through an orifice formed in the piston. Each of self-discharge type charge eliminators (90A-90E) is fixed to a surface of a specific member being at least one of a component of the shock absorber (16) or an auxiliary member connected to the component. The charge eliminator reduces positive electric charge that is charged to the specific member, to thereby reduce a charge amount of the oil.
