The present invention provides an isolated axle mount for mounting an axle to a frame of a vehicle. In this embodiment, the axle mount includes a first member rigidly coupled to the frame, a second member rigidly coupled to the axle, and a third member supported by the first and second side walls of the second member. An elastic element such as a bushing is disposed about the third member and is coupled to the first member. At least one axle mount is coupled to the fore side of the axle and at least one axle mount is coupled to the aft side of the axle for supporting a frame above the axle. The elastic nature of the coupling between the axle and frame of the present invention dampens vibrations and lessens overall vehicle noise.
