The present disclosure relates to a front structure arrangement (18, 20) of a vehicle (12). The front structure arrangement (18, 20) comprises a side member (22, 24) arranged in a longitudinal direction (L) of the vehicle at a left-side portion (26) or a right-hand portion (28) of a front portion (30) of the vehicle, an outer side member (32, 34) arranged in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at the left-side portion or right-hand portion of the front portion of the vehicle, the outer side member (32, 34) being located laterally outward of and vertically above the side member, and a spring tower (36, 38) attached to the side member and to the outer side member, the spring tower being adapted to support a suspension of the vehicle, wherein the spring tower is attached to the side member by an attachment means (40, 41), which is arranged such that the spring tower is adapted to detach progressively from the side member during bending of the side member, when the front structure arrangement is subjected to a substantially longitudinal force (F). The disclosure further relates to a front structure (10) of a vehicle comprising two such front structure arrangements (18, 20) and, as an option, a bar (62, 64) connecting the two spring towers (36, 38).
