Chapter 1 General Information

Section 1 Body Structure

An automobile body is mainly composed of the main body, removable sheet metal parts, interior and exterior

trim parts, and body accessories.

I. Main Body

The main body is mainly composed of the front sheet metal, cowl parts, floor assembly, LH/RH side wall

assembly, Rear back panel assembly, trunk shelf assembly and roof panel assembly, etc. by welding them

together, as shown in the Figure 5-1.

(I) Front Sheet Metal, Cowl Parts

The main function of the front sheet metal and the cowl parts is forming an engine compartment to supply the

engine and accessories with a protective cover and to absorb the most energy when vehicle encounters

frontal impaction, protecting mud from being splashed by the front wheels, and meeting the requirements of

body design in appearance. It is mainly composed of front cross member assembly, LH/RH front mud guard

and front side member assembly, engine hood front support plate assembly, hood lock bracket assembly,

cowl assembly, cowl upper assembly.

1. Front Cross Member Assembly

The front cross member assembly is mainly composed of the front cross member welding sub-assembly,

front cross member bottom plate assembly, LH/RH side member end plate by welding them together, and its

dismantle diagram as shown in the Figure 5-2.

2. Lh/Rh Front Mudguard And Front Side Member Assembly

LH/RH front mud guard and front side member assembly is mainly composed of LH/RH front mudguards

and LH/RH side members by welding them together.

It is mainly used to mount some mounting brackets such as the engine LH/RH side suspension bracket, LH/

RH front suspension shock absorber bracket, etc. and to mount the LH/RH front fenders.

3. Engine Hood Front Support Plate Assembly

Engine hood front support plate is mainly composed of LH/RH headlamp mounting bracket assembly, hood

front support plate sub-assembly, and LH/RH front support plate reinforcement, by welding them together.

Engine hood front support plate assembly is used to mount radiator, engine hood lock, radiator grille, front

bumper, and headlamp.

4. Engine Hood Lock Bracket Assembly

Engine hood lock bracket assembly is used to mount the engine hood lock, also to strengthen the intensity and

rigidity of the front body by connecting the engine hood front support plate and front cross member.

5. Cowl Assembly

Cowl assembly is mainly composed of cowl inner and outer plate assembly and cowl lower cross member, by

welding them together.

Cowl assembly and front floor, LH/RH front mud guard (LH/RH front pillar), cowl upper baffle is welded

together, which forms a framework with great torsional strength. It generates great resistance to lateral

impact and rolled deformation.

Cowl inner and outer plate assembly is sandwich structure. 3mm of asphalt plate lies in the interlayer, which

is to cut off the noise and heat generated from the engine.
