FENDER SHIELD
The front sidemember section is designed in large form to efficiently absorb energy upon impact. An uneven-thickness steel sheet*
in which the sheet thickness is thicker on the cabin side was employed for the front sidemember inner to ensure safety upon impact, body rigidity and lightweightness.
The engine mount plate has been added to improve rigidity of the engine mounting point.
NOTE: *: Steel plates with different thickness welded together to make one steel plate.

The design features the spring house panel surface mounted with the cowl top lower panel to heighten body rigidity of the suspension assembling support area. This results in driving stability and silence.
