ABSTRACT:
A power train system for a vehicle includes a power unit which is positioned in the front of the vehicle body, a differential which is positioned in the rear of the vehicle body, a propeller shaft which connects the power unit and the differential to transmit the engine output power to the rear wheels, and a power plant frame which rigidly connects the rear portion of the power unit and the front portion of the differential. The differential is resiliently connected to a chassis side member by a cylindrical rubber bushing member which has an outer tubular member fixed to the differential, a shaft member which is fixed to the chassis side member and extends horizontally in the transverse direction of the vehicle body, and a rubber member which is interposed between the outer tubular member and the shaft member. The rubber bushing member is positioned higher than the center of the differential, and the power plant frame has a substantially U-shaped cross-section which opens sideways and is flexurally stiff and torsionally flexible.
