Abstract

An automotive wheel separation mechanism may include a hitting member that hits and breaks a lateral arm connecting a wheel to a vehicle body by being pushed back in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle due to a shock force from the outside in a front collision, and an anti-sliding protrusion that is disposed on the lateral arm to prevent the hitting member hitting the lateral arm from sliding on the lateral arm.
