ABSTRACT:
A front body structure is provided to disperse an impact load to a floor framework member through a rear end of a subframe effectively. The subframe11includes a left side frame12L, a right side frame12R and a rear frame13. Each of the side frames12L,12R includes a forked part14having an inside branch part14apointing to a vehicle's inside in a width direction of the vehicle along a first route A and an outside branch part14bpointing to a vehicle's outside in the width direction along a second route B. In operation, if an impact load F due to an offset front collision is applied on the side frame12in concentration, then the load F is divided into a load component Fa to be transmitted to the other side frame12L through the inside branch part14aand the rear frame13along the first route A and another load component Fb to be transmitted to the floor framework member8through the outside branch part14balong the second route B.
