ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle subframe including a pair of longitudinal members which extend in parallel with each other along a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body, and lateral members which extend across the longitudinal members, a connecting member extends across intermediate points of two of the lateral members which are disposed adjacent to each other, and one of the engine mounts is provided on the connecting member. Thereby, the load from the engine can be favorably distributed over the lateral members, and the rigidity at the points for mounting the engine can be increased, whereby the vibrations from the engine are effectively shut off from the passenger compartment. Additionally, the lateral members are not subjected to any significant localized stresses, and can be therefore made lighter in weight.
