1. A front fork, comprising:
a first cylindrical body that is formed in a cylindrical shape;
a second cylindrical body that surrounds an outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and is provided so as to be movable in a direction of an axis with respect to the first cylindrical body;
a spring that is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and an inner peripheral surface of the second cylindrical body and applies a force in a direction to separate the first cylindrical body and the second cylindrical body; and
a spring seat portion that is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and receives a first end of the spring, wherein
the spring seat portion includes;
a fixing portion that is fixed to the first cylindrical body;
a receiving member whose upper end surface abuts the fixing portion; and
a spring seat body that is made of metal, receives the spring and is rotatably supported around the axis by the receiving member,
the receiving member includes:
a third cylindrical body that is disposed between an inner peripheral surface of the spring seat body and the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body and reduces a frictional force when the spring seat body rotates about the axis; and
a support portion that is provided between the fixing portion and the third cylindrical body and supports the spring seat body,
the third cylindrical body and the support portion are integrally configured as one member, and
the third cylindrical body and the support portion are formed of a material having a friction coefficient smaller than that of the spring seat body.
