Construction for mounting subframe to vehicle body

A construction mounting a subframe to a vehicle body comprising:

• a hollow collar inserted into a pipe constructing the subframe, the pipe being provided with an insertion hole at a certain position along its thickness direction for the insertion of the hollow collar, and the insertion hole being substantially perpendicular to or inclined to the longitudinal axis of the pipe;
• a pair of substantially U-shaped brackets fixed to the pipe in such a manner that the hollow collar inserted through the insertion hole is held between the brackets, each bracket comprising a base portion having a bolt insertion hole at its center part in communication with the hollow collar and two side projecting portions extending from the base portion;
• and
• a bolt connecting the subframe to the vehicle body through the collar and the bolt insertion holes of the brackets, wherein said base portions of the brackets are parallel in side view to a subframe mounting surface provided on the vehicle body, and said brackets are mounted to the pipe so as to ensure the insertion of the bolt, and further said brackets are fixed to the pipe at least by their respective side projecting portions, and wherein one of said brackets to be directly in contact with the vehicle body provides a mounting surface at its outer surface of the base portion, and said mounting surface enables surface contact with the subframe mounting surface of the vehicle body.
