Spring strut mounting assembly of a vehicle body

In a vehicle body, an assembly for mounting a spring strut to the vehicle body wherein the spring strut includes a bearing block at an upper end thereof and wherein the bearing block is adapted for preassembly of vehicle suspension elements including dampers, springs and links, the mounting assembly comprising in operative combination:

• a) a plurality of suspension strut assembly support members, each of said support members having a first end connected to the vehicle body and a second end;
• and wherein said plurality of support members includes:
• i) an obliquely angled first support member which extends rearwardly and upwardly from its first end connection at a lower longitudinal bearer member towards a free space region;
• ii) a second transversely oriented support member which extends horizontally outward from its first end connection at a central interior region of the vehicle body towards said free space region;
• iii) a third longitudinally oriented support member which extends forwardly and downwardly from its first end connection at an A pillar of the vehicle body towards said free space region;
• b) each of said support members converge a distance towards a common vertical axis such that their corresponding second ends define a plurality of boundary points along said free space region located at a desired position in space relative to the vehicle body for supporting the bearing block of the spring strut;
• and
• c) means for connecting said second ends of said support members directly to said bearing block.
