Abstract

PURPOSE: To improve the workability in a subframe by installing a bracket, for setting up a suspension arm, in each front corner part of a cross member and a side member constituting the subframe, and boring a fuel tank clamping band mounting hole in this bracket. CONSTITUTION: A subframe 1 is made up of connecting both front and rear cross members 2 and 3 extending in the car cross direction and both symmetrical side members 4 and 5 extending in the body longitudinal direction together. Then, four corner parts of this subframe 1 are hung down via a vibro-isolating bush in an interval between both these symmetrical sideframes, and each trailing arm bracket 31 is connected to the front cross member 2 and the symmetrical side members 4 and 5. In addition, a band 12 extending in the longitudinal direction of a car body is wrapped on a spot between the rear cross member 3 and this trailing arm bracket 31, and these double ends are clamped by a bolt. Accordingly, press directions of bending and mounting bolt drilling are accorded with each other, so workability in the subframe 1 is thus improvable.
