In this study, the design of shock tower mounting, a type of shock absorber mounting for four-wheel drive vehicles, was addressed through structural analysis. In the case of existing shock tower mounting components, cracks occurred in the shock tower frame side weld joints, so the maximum stress should be reduced to extend the life of the designed components. Based on this, various design changes were performed on the shock tower mounting components, and the maximum stress generated through structural analysis of each design change model was compared. For the structural analysis, a load of 40,000 N was applied in the axial direction of the shock absorber, and the results were relatively analyzed and compared. As a result of the analysis of the shock tower mounting components through the design change, Case 3, a model that alleviated the stress concentration applied to the body mounting, increased the strength compared to the existing model, and the stress in the shock tower frame side weld joints was reduced by 16.3%.
