Abstract:
1. A power unit vibration damping support structure that gives vibration damping support to a transverse engine type power unit including an engine and transmission on a vehicle body via four engine mounts at four respective points including front, rear, left and right of a vehicle, the four engine mounts comprising a front engine mount, a rear engine mount, an engine side engine mount and a transmission side engine mount, wherein a weight of the power unit is distributed and supported by the front and rear engine mounts arranged at the front and rear of the vehicle, and the engine side engine mount mounted on an engine side arranged at one of the left and right of the vehicle, while the transmission side engine mount is mounted on a transmission side arranged at another of the left and right of the vehicle in a state without a distributed support load of the weight of the power unit being applied, the transmission side engine mount comprises a tube shaped mount which includes: an inner shaft member; an outer tube member arranged separated to an outer circumference side of the inner shaft member; and a main rubber elastic body attached to the outer tube member non-adhesively such that the inner shaft member and the outer tube member are elastically connected by the main rubber elastic body, wherein the outer tube member is attached to the power unit, and the inner shaft member is attached to the vehicle body, the front and rear engine mounts are both arranged below a principal axis of inertia of the power unit, while the engine side and transmission side engine mounts are both arranged above the principal axis of inertia of the power unit, when viewed in a front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the transmission side engine mount is arranged more largely separated above the principal axis of inertia of the power unit than the engine side engine mount.
