- The mounting flange may include a third mounting surface coupled with the rear end of the first crash box, and a fourth mounting surface formed to be bent to the external side of the vehicle body from the third mounting surface and coupled with the rear end of the second crash box.
- The member flange and the mounting flange are coupled by a bolting.
