(I) Front Sheet Metal, Cowl Parts
The main function of the front sheet metal and the cowl parts is forming an engine compartment to supply the
engine and accessories with a protective cover and to absorb the most energy when vehicle encounters
frontal impaction, protecting mud from being splashed by the front wheels, and meeting the requirements of
body design in appearance. It is mainly composed of front cross member assembly, LH/RH front mud guard
and front side member assembly, engine hood front support plate assembly, hood lock bracket assembly,
cowl assembly, cowl upper assembly.
1. Front Cross Member Assembly
The front cross member assembly is mainly composed of the front cross member welding sub-assembly,
front cross member bottom plate assembly, LH/RH side member end plate by welding them together, and its
dismantle diagram as shown in the Figure 5-2.
2. Lh/Rh Front Mudguard And Front Side Member Assembly
LH/RH front mud guard and front side member assembly is mainly composed of LH/RH front mudguards
and LH/RH side members by welding them together.
It is mainly used to mount some mounting brackets such as the engine LH/RH side suspension bracket, LH/
RH front suspension shock absorber bracket, etc. and to mount the LH/RH front fenders.
3. Engine Hood Front Support Plate Assembly
Engine hood front support plate is mainly composed of LH/RH headlamp mounting bracket assembly, hood
front support plate sub-assembly, and LH/RH front support plate reinforcement, by welding them together.
Engine hood front support plate assembly is used to mount radiator, engine hood lock, radiator grille, front
bumper, and headlamp.
4. Engine Hood Lock Bracket Assembly
Engine hood lock bracket assembly is used to mount the engine hood lock, also to strengthen the intensity and
rigidity of the front body by connecting the engine hood front support plate and front cross member.
5. Cowl Assembly
Cowl assembly is mainly composed of cowl inner and outer plate assembly and cowl lower cross member, by
welding them together.
Cowl assembly and front floor, LH/RH front mud guard (LH/RH front pillar), cowl upper baffle is welded
together, which forms a framework with great torsional strength. It generates great resistance to lateral
impact and rolled deformation.
Cowl inner and outer plate assembly is sandwich structure. 3mm of asphalt plate lies in the interlayer, which
is to cut off the noise and heat generated from the engine.
