Motor vehicle engine and gearbox suspension assembly has two upper and one lower vibration damping fixings in line with centre of gravity

摘要

The suspension assembly for a motor vehicle engine and gearbox mounted in a cradle (4) with a lower cross-member (3) and upper supports (2) consists of two upper and one lower vibration damping fixings (10, 11, 12). The two upper fixings are connected to the engine/gearbox at points above the centre of gravity (G), while the lower one is immediately below it. The three fixings lie in the same vertical plane in line with the centre of gravity.
