Abstract
The present invention comprises: a vehicle link component which is characterized in that a collar member is provided to a rotation fulcrum member-mounting hole section of a link body formed from carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), said collar member having a cylindrical section that extends inside the hole section in the direction of penetration of the hole section, and having an engagement section that extends in the direction along the surface of the link body from the cylindrical section; and a manufacturing method therefor. By employing the CFRP link body, a significant reduction in the weight of the vehicle link component can be achieved, and assembly can easily be performed as desired without causing damage by press-fitting a bush, or the like, even in the CFRP link body.
