A transaxle assembly (32) for mounting a drive axle assembly (38) to a vehicle backbone frame (36) includes a suspension body (18) having a receiving cavity (19) for receiving the backbone frame, and a plurality of frame members (4, 5, 9, 10) disposed generally transversely to the suspension body. The plurality of frame members (4, 5, 9, 10) are pivotally attached to the suspension body (18) at an upper end (44) of the frame members. The transaxle assembly (32) also includes a receiving structure (12) that receives the plurality of frame members at a lower end (45) of the frame members (4, 5, 9, 10). The receiving structure (12) has a receiving hole (13) that is generally parallel with the backbone frame for receiving the drive axle assembly (38). A cylinder (6, 7) extends between the suspension body (18) and the receiving structure (12).
