The invention relates to a spring strut top mounting, comprising at least one shaping base body, wherein the at least one shaping base body has a dome-shaped section in the region connecting to the spring strut and at least one separate, local reinforcement element which is connected to the base body. The object of making available a spring strut top mounting which has improved rigidity, in particular improved local rigidity, is achieved according to the invention in that the base body has at least one stamped region in the region connecting to the spring strut, and the at least one reinforcement element lays against the base body at least in the vicinity of the at least one stamped region.

A body front-end structure for a two-track vehicle, having an A-pillar from which an upper wheel well longitudinal member projects toward the front of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and from which a lower body longitudinal member that is offset toward the inside of the vehicle with respect to the upper wheel well longitudinal member projects toward the front of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In a head-on crash with small lateral overlap, a suspension strut dome is loaded with a crash force in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The body front-end structure has a sheet-metal tension strip that connects the suspension strut dome to the lower body longitudinal member in a force-transmitting manner. In the event of a head-on crash, the sheet-metal tension strip provides a load path through which a tensile force opposing the crash force acts on the suspension strut dome.

A front body structure of a vehicle includes a pair of left and right hinge pillars, a pair of left and right front suspension dampers that are provided in desired positions on an inner side in a vehicle width direction of the hinge pillars and on a vehicle front side of the hinge pillars, a pair of left and right suspension housings that have damper mount parts, and a pair of left and right apron reinforcements to which upper ends of the suspension housings are joined. The apron reinforcements are formed in shapes extending substantially linearly from the rear ends thereof toward the vehicle front side and an inner side in the vehicle width direction through an outer side in the vehicle width direction of the damper mount parts in plan view.

An electric vehicle frame strut tower to body structure interface bracket is disclosed. An example electric vehicle disclosed herein includes a frame, a battery pack supported by the frame, a body coupled to the frame, a strut tower coupled to the frame to support the body and absorb road surface impacts on the electric vehicle, and a strut tower interface bracket to couple the strut tower to the body.

An embodiment running bare chassis assembly includes a front frame on which a front suspension is mounted, a rear frame assembly on which a battery carrier is mounted, wherein the rear frame assembly comprises, a first rear frame on which a rear suspension is mounted, a second rear frame coupled to the first rear frame and on which a radiator is mounted, and a battery carrier frame on which the battery carrier is mounted and which is coupled to the first rear frame through a second engagement, and a center frame coupled to the front frame and the rear frame assembly through a first engagement, wherein a stress distribution due to the first engagement is greater than a stress distribution due to the second engagement.

A motor vehicle has a front-end vehicle structure which has a wheelhouse support structure on each side of the front-end vehicle structure, in each of which wheelhouse support structure a bearer extends from an A-column to an engine support via a suspension strut receptacle. An engine support is formed beneath each wheelhouse support structure. The front supporting bearer extends in a vertical plane in an arc from the suspension strut receptacle downwards to the engine support. The front supporting bearer extends in a horizontal plane in an arc from the suspension strut receptacle from the outside inwards in the direction of a longitudinal axis of symmetry through an angle to the engine support, and the front supporting bearer is fastened with the front end thereof to the engine support.

A vehicle front body structure includes a lower side frame member and an upper frame member each extended in a longitudinal direction of the front body structure. The upper frame member is arranged above, in a height direction of the front body structure, and on an outboard side, in a width direction of the front body structure, of the lower side frame member. A damper housing is arranged to connect the lower side frame member and the upper frame member. The damper housing includes an outboard wall, in the width direction, affixed to the upper frame member. The outboard wall includes a deformation relief feature extended in the longitudinal direction along an opening provided on the damper housing for an associated vehicle suspension component.

A vibration attenuation assembly that includes a strut weight configured to attenuate resonant frequency of a vehicle strut assembly. The strut weight has an upper surface and a lower surface. The strut weight has a rod receiving opening that extends from a central area of the upper surface to the lower surface. The upper surface has a conical shape.

A method of making a shock tower assembly includes forming a bracket from continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic, where the bracket has a load bearing portion and an overmolded portion. The method further includes placing the bracket in an injection tool, injecting a polymer composite material into the injection tool to surround the and overmolded portion of the bracket, and removing a finished component from the injection tool, wherein the finished component comprises the load bearing portion of the bracket extending outwardly from the finished component and the overmolded portion of the bracket that is surrounded by the polymer composite material.

A vehicle body structure includes: a front lateral ring-shaped vehicle body framework (FWC) having a substantially ring shape in a vehicle lateral direction, disposed near suspension towers (65), and constituted by front subframes (66), suspension tower reinforcing members (65b), and a cowl box (62); and longitudinal ring-shaped vehicle body frameworks (SLC) disposed along side door openings (Es). The vehicle body structure includes: cowl side frames (64) coupling upper ends of hinge pillars (45) constituting the longitudinal ring-shaped vehicle body frameworks (SLC) to the suspension towers (65) in a vehicle longitudinal direction; and side part panels (71) connected to the cowl box (62) and coupled to the suspension towers (65).
