Abstract
A vehicle framing structure has elongated side sills longitudinally disposed in the lower portions of a vehicle, spring supports longitudinally disposed either at the front or in the rear portions of the sills, or both, and side members having one end connected to the sills and the other end connected to the spring supports, the side members having straight line axes when viewed in a plan view. The arrangement reduces torsional deformation of the side members and improves rigidity in the connection between the sills and the spring supports.
