Abstract
A car frame consisting of right and left side members which are disposed in a longitudinal direction of a car body work and a cross member which is spanned between the side members in a breadth direction of the body work; and a bracket secured to the joint sections of the side members and the cross member. The bracket is connected to the side members and the cross member, and a sub-frame, to which suspensions and others are fitted, is connected to the bracket. A fitting position of the sub-frame is arbitrarily selected for securing the suspensions. Therefore, the position of a nut member for supporting the sub-frame by a rear frame including the cross member can be adjusted and changed. As a result, when different models are produced using the same car body frame, the positions of the suspensions can be changed easily, the same frame can be used for different models, and different types of suspensions can be used while using the same frame.
