• a wheel house provided at a side face portion of a vehicle-body rear portion;
• a side frame extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction on an inward side, in a vehicle width direction, of the wheel house;
• a suspension comprising a damper provided to extend in a vehicle vertical direction for damping a vertical load inputted from a wheel thereto and a bump stopper provided on a shaft center of the damper;
• and
• a suspension housing including a support face portion for supporting the damper and provided to connect the side frame and the wheel house,
• wherein said suspension housing comprises a peripheral wall portion which is provided to extend downward from said support face portion and enclose said bump stopper at least partially,
• wherein said suspension comprises a spring which is arranged around said damper, and a spring receiving portion for supporting an upper end portion of the damper is provided at a lower end portion of said peripheral wall portion, and
• wherein said spring receiving portion is provided to expand radially outside from a lower edge of said peripheral wall portion in a flange shape, and a high-rigidity portion is provided along a peripheral edge portion of said spring receiving portion.
