In a vehicle, a power plant is disposed in an engine room formed at the front of the vehicle body with the center of gravity of the power plant positioned behind the wheel center of front wheels. A structure for supporting a suspension system for the vehicle includes a pair of front side frames which extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body respectively along the left and right side walls of the engine room, and a pair of lower frame members provided on the respective front side frames so as to extend downward from the front side frames at intermediate portions thereof. Each of the lower frame members is provided with a suspension supporting portion on which the suspension system for supporting the corresponding front wheel is supported, and an opening for permitting the drive shaft for the corresponding front wheel to project outside and beyond the front side frame is formed between the lower frame member and the front side frame.
