ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A frame structure for a vehicle which includes two side members connected together by a torsional cross member and at least one other cross member is disclosed. The torsional cross member is secured to each of the side members in the rear portion of the frame, and cooperates with the side members to provide a liquid-impervious housing for the rear axle assembly of the vehicle. Torsional cross member has planar components which are permanently connected along adjacent edges to define an included angle of more than 90 degrees. This provides the frame with multi-dimensional rigidity. The torsional cross mem- ber combines the function of two members in conventional frame structures, so that the frame structure of the present invention has a lower center of gravity and is lighter than conventional frame structures.
