When the metal sleeve as described above is employed, a step is provided at an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the metal sleeve, and a step is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the elastic wall portion outwardly in the axial direction of the pair of working liquid chambers. The inner annular portion which is vulcanized and bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the elastic wall portion in the axial direction of the pair of working liquid chambers has a smaller diameter than the outer annular portion which is sulfur bonded, and the inner annular portion of the metal sleeve is cylindrical. The orifice member is extrapolated and arranged, and the orifice member is sandwiched between the inner annular portion and the cylindrical portion of the second mounting member, and the orifice member is paired along the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion. It is preferable to employ a configuration in which the orifice member extends and is disposed in the working liquid chamber, and the orifice member forms a second orifice passage that connects the pair of working liquid chambers to each other. By adopting the configuration using such an orifice member, the degree of freedom in design such as the passage length and the cross-sectional area of the second orifice passage that connects the pair of working liquid chambers to each other can be improved. By the thickness of the orifice member disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the elastic wall portion inside the liquid chamber in the axial direction, the free length of the elastic wall portion inside the working liquid chamber in the axial direction is The elastic wall portion is smaller than the free length of the elastic wall portion, so that the elastic wall on the inner side in the axial direction of the working liquid chamber does not adversely affect the fluid tightness of the working liquid chamber and does not require special members or processing. The spring constant in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the portion can be set to be larger than the spring constant in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the elastic wall portion outward in the axial direction.

According to the configuration (d), the sub-liquid chamber is formed independently of the main liquid chamber and the working liquid chamber. Therefore, it is possible to set a sufficiently small wall spring characteristic and a large volume variable amount with respect to the vibration, thereby preventing vibration in a low frequency range particularly based on the resonance action of the fluid that is caused to flow through the first orifice passage. The vibration effect can be obtained more advantageously. In addition, according to the above configuration (e), there is no need to provide an independent auxiliary liquid chamber, the height of the vibration isolator in the axial direction can be designed to be more compact, and the second mounting member can be formed as the first mounting member. Even when the fixing member is fixed to the anti-vibration connector or the anti-vibration support at the axial end side opposite to the side where the mounting member is disposed, the moment force acting on the fixing portion is more advantageously reduced, and the member at the fixing portion is reduced. Further improvement in strength and durability can be achieved. Furthermore, according to the configuration (e), the expansion spring constant of the elastic wall portion on the axially outer side in the working liquid chamber is set smaller than the expansion spring constant of the elastic wall portion on the axially inner side. At the time of axial vibration input, pressure absorption of the main liquid chamber due to deformation of the elastic wall portion inward in the axial direction of the working liquid chamber is suppressed, and the fluid flow amount through the first orifice passage is advantageously secured. Therefore, the vibration damping effect based on the flow action of the fluid that is caused to flow through the first orifice passage can be effectively exerted. The expansion spring constant of the elastic wall of the working liquid chamber corresponds to the pressure change amount of the working liquid chamber required to change the volume of the working liquid chamber by a unit amount.
