ABSTRACT:
A rear body structure for a vehicle includes a gusset for reinforcing a body floor, each rear wheel house, and a damper support member disposed on the body floor adjacent to the wheel house. The gusset has a first portion connected to the wheel house, a second portion connected to the body floor, and a third portion connected to the damper support member and an upper end portion of a damper with the damper support member disposed between the third portion and the upper end portion of the damper. With this arrangement, a force applied from the damper to the damper support portion can be efficiently distributed through the gusset to the wheel house and the body floor.
