Patent 7562886 was granted and assigned to NISSAN MOTOR CO.,LTD. on July, 2009 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
In installation structure and method of a vehicular suspension, each of left and right suspension links couples a corresponding one of the left and right side members with the suspension member and is provided with a breakable portion which breaks due to a load generated when the load applied to a forward end portion of at least one of left and right front side members causes a drive unit and a drive shaft to be moved toward a rearward direction of a vehicle body to bring the drive shaft in contact against a corresponding one of the left and right suspension links.
