Abstract
A vehicle body front structure includes a dashboard lower in which an opening portion into which a joint member, which connects a steering shaft of a vehicle with a steering gear box, is inserted is formed; a steering joint cover that is provided around the opening portion so as to surround the joint member; and a dashboard cross-member that extends in a left and right direction of the dashboard lower. The dashboard cross-member includes a pair of cross-members between which the steering joint cover is interposed, and each of these cross-members is fixed to the steering joint cover. Clip holes to which mounting clips mounting a steering grommet are fitted are formed within a range of the dashboard lower that is positioned around the opening portion and is covered with the steering joint cover.
