ABSTRACT:
In a suspension assembly for an automotive engine of a front-engine/front-drive vehicle and for supporting the engine to a frame by an engine mount, an arrangement position of the engine mount in the vehicle is in the range between a vertical plane including an inertia main axis in a rolling direction of the engine and a vertical plane including a centerline of a drive shaft. Then, the vertical plane including the inertia main shaft is not included in the range and the vertical plane including the centerline of the drive shaft is included in the range. Thus, the arrangement position of the engine mount may be set in consideration of all of the idle vibration property, the drivability and the degree of freedom of design.
