The front structure includes right and left front side frame members (12, 14) each having a front end (24,26). Right and left front spring hangers (34, 36) extend downward from the front side frame members at a point substantially adjacent to the front ends and each include a bottom end (58) having a mounting flange (56) thereon. A cross member (20) extends transversely within the motor vehicle, having right and left cross member ends (62) attached to the mounting flange (56).
