摘要

A front sub-frame structure for a road vehicle comprises a longitudinal beam 11 joined to the vehicle steering rack 12 which forms part of the sub-frame. Sub-frame to body compliant mountings are a front mounting 14 and two spaced mountings 21 on brackets 19 of the rack. An engine mounting 29 is substantially equi-distant from the body mountings and is suitable for supporting the whole of the weight of a three cylinder engine. There is limited compliance in the joint between beam 11 and rack 12. Brackets 19 on the rack also carry suspension mountings 22.
