MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR DASH CROSS MEMBER IN FRONT PORTION OF VEHICLE BODY

摘要

[Problem to be Solved] Provided is a mounting structure for a dash cross member at the front of a body which can ensure the degree of freedom of layout because the burden on front side members is reduced by efficiently distributing a load on a floor tunnel and preventing interference with an engine and the piping thereof, pedals or a steering shaft and the like. [Solution] The structure is such that a dash cross member 12 disposed between front side members 5 in the vehicle width direction is divided into three parts: both side portions 121 and a middle portion 122, the side portions 121 are joined to a front surface 4F side of a dash panel 4 and outer end portions 121c of these side portions 121 are inclined to the vehicle front side and are joined to the respective front side members 5, the middle portion 122 is joined to a rear surface 4R side of the dash panel 4, and connections between the side portions 121 and middle portion 122 of the dash cross member 12 are formed so that the sections of the connections between the middle portion 122 and the side portions 121 are continuous between the front and rear surfaces of the dash panel 4.
