- the dust cover is provided with a seal portion that is in close contact with the outer peripheral portion of the stud portion by a radial tightening margin at the inner peripheral portion of the small-diameter opening and below the guide portion.
- the dust cover has a tightening allowance as the difference between the outer radius of the stud part and the inner radius when the seal part is not installed, and the difference between the outer radius of the stud part and the inner radius of the guide part as a minute gap. Is made larger than a minute gap.
- the dust cover may be provided with an inner peripheral protrusion that protrudes inward from the inner peripheral surface of the guide portion above the guide portion at the inner peripheral portion of the small-diameter opening.

Even when the portion is inclined, the seal portion can maintain a tight margin, and even when the small-diameter opening portion is inclined to the maximum, a good sealing property of the dust cover can be ensured.
- the inner peripheral protrusion having elasticity, while maintaining the slidability of the small diameter opening with respect to the stud, the force against the inclination of the small diameter opening is increased. Even if the force pulled by the same is equal, the inclination angle of the small-diameter opening can be suppressed to a smaller angle, so that the seal durability of the dust cover can be improved.
