- the first and second fixing portions 124a, 125a, 124b, and 125b that are connected and fix the steering column 118 to the second vertex b and the third vertex c are provided, the first and second aluminum extruded members 124 and 125 By increasing the rigidity, the steering hanger body 121 and the steering column 118 can be firmly connected via the first and second aluminum extruded members 124 and 125, and the vibration of the steering column 118 can be reduced more effectively.
- the second aluminum extruded material 125 includes third fixing portions 125c and 125d fixed to the dash panel lower 115, and the first and second fixing portions 125a and 125b and the upper third fixing portion 125c are straight lines extending in the front-rear direction. Since the rigidity of the second aluminum extruding material 125 is increased, the dash panel lower 115 and the steering column 118 are firmly connected via the second aluminum extruding material 125. The vibration of 118 can be reduced more effectively.
- the steering column support portion 122 of the second embodiment includes the first aluminum extruded material 124 and the second aluminum extruded material 125, but the number of aluminum extruded materials does not necessarily need to be two. It may be an individual.
