ABSTRACT:
A structure for a motor vehicle front end assembly includes a mini-cradle having mounted thereon a suspension arm for each wheel of the front end assembly. The suspension arm has the shape of a boomerang. The supporting end of the suspension arm is coupled to a wheel. A front articulation end (point A) and a rear articulation end of the arm are coupled to the mini-cradle. The mini-cradle has a body and two side rails that extend towards the vehicle front. The two side rails are coupled, via a coupling unit, to a side member of the vehicle in a zone located forward, relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, of point A of the suspension arm. The coupling unit includes at least one hollow body allowing a through screwing unit to couple the rail with the side member.
