Front structure of vehicle body

Abstract

A front structureof a vehicle body has a shock absorber receiverprojecting forward from a dash panel, which is located at a position corresponding to a shock absorberin a vehicle width direction and in a vehicle height direction. In the front structureof the vehicle body, the shock absorber receiverrestricts backward movement of the shock absorberupon a collision of a vehicle, so that a collision load acting on the shock absorbercan be efficiently dispersed to a framework of the vehicle body while being transmitted through the shock absorber receiverto the dash panel. When the shock absorbermoves backward upon the collision of the vehicle, the shock absorbercomes into contact with the shock absorber receiver, and the distance becomes shorter between support points of the shock absorberthan before, so as to enhance flexural rigidity and reaction force.
