Claim:
A front vehicle body structure comprising: a pair of front side frames on right and left which project in a forward direction of a vehicle from a front of a cabin; a front sub frame which is mounted on a lower portion of the front side frames; a tie rod which is disposed forwardly of an axle of a front wheel and configured to steer the front wheel; a tie rod pressing member having a pressing portion which is mounted on the front sub frame in front of the tie rod in the forward direction of the vehicle and is configured to press the tie rod from a front side at a time of a collision; and a rotational movement generating member which is disposed projecting from the front sub frame in the forward direction of the vehicle, and configured to cause the tie rod pressing member to generate a rotational movement by bending and deforming an area in a direction in which a rear side of the area opens outward in a vehicle width direction with respect to a front side of the area, using a load received from a forward position of the vehicle at a time of a collision, the area being a site on which the tie rod pressing member is mounted in the front sub frame, wherein the pressing portion of the tie rod pressing member is displaced by the rotational movement from a first position which is out of a steering range of the front wheel to a second position at which the pressing portion swings outward in the vehicle width direction and which allows pressing of the tie rod.
