Abstract

An engine mounting arrangement is disclosed including a rubber-metal component and a vibration attenuating device that is comprised of a lever arm provided with a mass on its free end. The low frequency as well as the high frequency oscillations are damped thereby without establishing a noise bridge between the engine and the vehicle by the lever arm extending between elastomeric members and bearing in the axial direction of the engine mounting arrangement against these elastomeric members.
