  • Patent number: 9643653
    Abstract: An attachment of a front end of a motor vehicle to a subframe of the motor vehicle, includes an adjustment device arranged between the front end and the subframe, as viewed in the motor vehicle longitudinal direction, to attach the front end to the subframe. The adjustment device has a front-end-side and a subframe-side adjusting unit, and is configured such that the adjustment device can be shortened, as viewed in the motor vehicle longitudinal direction, in the event of a correspondingly high force impact caused by accident. The subframe-side adjusting unit of the adjustment device is arranged on a housing mounted to the subframe.
