ABSTRACT:
A module carrier structure for the vehicle front includes an upper horizontal frame portion and a lower horizontal frame portion that constitute a radiator mounting central frame. The carrier structure further includes a middle horizontal frame portion extending in front of the central frame such that the middle horizontal frame portion simply rests on a rear beam member of a front bumper when the carrier structure is fastened to the front of the vehicle body. The carrier structure has a central vertical stay portion extending in front of the central frame, coupling the upper and middle horizontal frame portions to each other. The stay portion has at the top thereof a hood lock mounting member for mounting a hood lock thereon. Downward load of the front hood applied to the lock mounting member is transmitted to the vertical stay portion and distributed to the middle horizontal frame position. Even when a light collision occurs, the front bumper and its rear beam member are simply shifted to the rear relative to the middle horizontal frame portion, and no substantial influence occurs to the carrier structure.
