Abstract
In a vehicle front structure, without increasing the thickness of the material of a damper housing structure and reinforcement portions, an adequate mechanical strength in supporting the damper can be ensured, and the cost of the manufacturing facilities can be minimized. The damper housing structure is formed by a damper base, a damper housing main body, a front reinforcement portion and a rear reinforcement portion, and the damper base. Each of the damper housing main body, the front reinforcement portion and the rear reinforcement portion includes a closed cross section portion extending linearly with a same cross section.
