Abstract: A shock tower for a vehicle includes a body having an upper portion and a lower portion. The body includes a hub disposed along the upper portion and a rim extending along the lower portion. A plurality of first spokes extend between the hub and the rim for carrying or distributing a load from the shock tower to a portion of the vehicle. A plurality of second spokes extend at least partially around the body and transversely to respective ones of the first spokes to define a plurality of spoke junctions for allowing the distributed load to change directions at each intersection of the second spokes with the first spokes. A plurality of third spokes each extend angularly from one of the first spokes to the rim. The spokes collectively define voids for removing material from the shock tower and reducing an overall weight of the shock tower component.
