Patent ID: 7562886

Claim:
An installation structure of a vehicular suspension, comprising: first and second side members, each of the first and second side members being disposed on a corresponding side portion of a vehicle body along a forward-and-rearward direction of the vehicle body; a drive unit mounted on a space between the first and second side members; a drive shaft extended from the drive unit in a width direction of the vehicle body and connected to drive wheels; a suspension member formed on the space between the first and second side members and disposed at a lower-and-rearward portion of the drive unit; and first and second suspension links, each of the first and second suspension links linking a corresponding one of the first and second side members with the suspension member and being provided with a breakable portion which breaks due to a load generated when a load applied to a forward end portion of at least one of the first and second side members causes the drive unit and the drive shaft to be moved toward a rearward direction of the vehicle body to bring the drive shaft in contact against a corresponding one of the first and second suspension links, a contacting position between each of the first and second suspension links and the drive shaft being positioned at a more rearward side than a linkage position of each of the first and second suspension links and the corresponding one of the first and second side members.
