Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laminated bushing controlling the movement of a structure member in a directional orientation and providing advantages such as increased strength and durability. SOLUTION: The laminated bushing is formed by spirally rolling a sheet metal 12 around an axis 14 in the longitudinal direction such that a cavity 20 in a spiral shape is formed of the sheet metal 12 having an elastic material 16 contacting with one side. The elastic material 16 is situated in the cavity in a spiral shape, the sheet metal 12 forming the cavity 20 in a spiral shape mechanically compresses the elastic material 16 situated in the cavity or the elastic material 16 is vulcanized simultaneously with the formation of the spirally rolled laminated bushing 10. Spirally rolled sleeves of the laminated bushing 10 are movable relative to one another in direct proportion to the material deformation characteristic of the elastic material 16 and provided with inner and outer sleeves 22 and 18 concentric about the longitudinal axis 14.
