Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a front structure arrangement of a vehicle including a side member and an outer side member arranged in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle at a left-side portion or a right-side portion of a front portion of the vehicle, the outer side member being located laterally outward of and vertically above the side member. A spring tower is attached to the side member and to the outer side member, and the spring tower is adapted to support a suspension of the vehicle. The spring tower is attached to the side member by an attachment means, which is arranged such that the spring tower is adapted to detach progressively from the side member during bending of the side member when the front structure arrangement is subjected to a substantially longitudinal force.
