An all terrain vehicle frame includes an upper member, a lower member, a forward cross member and a rearward cross member defining a central opening. An engine is disposed in the central opening and is attached to the frame. A swing arm for supporting a shaft member of outboard wheel assemblies is pivotally attached to the frame and the engine. The swing arm has a tapered shape that increases in width from a second end including a shaft support member to a first end including two bifurcated end portions and a frame accommodating portion. Each of the two bifurcated end portions includes a journal that is rotatably supported b y a transverse member that passes through the journals, the frame and the engine. The journals are provided on opposite sides of the central opening. A dampener is connected between the engine and the swing arm to reduce vibrations transmitted from the engine to the frame.
