A method for manufacturing a linear actuator may include providing a first element and a second element to a stationary element; supporting the movable element with the first element by the intermediary of the spring member; setting a distance dimension between the movable-element-side facing surface and the stationary-element-side facing surface with a specified dimension corresponding to a length dimension of the damper members, by way of making a relative displacement between the first element and the second element in the moving direction, in a situation where a clearance is formed between the first element and the second element in the moving direction; and fixing the first element and the second element to each other by use of an adhesive, in the situation of having the clearance between the two.
