Abstract

A bearing arrangement for a drive assembly of a motor vehicle is suggested that has bearings, particularly hydro-bearings, that are arranged on both sides of the engine and elastically support the engine and the drive assembly with respect to the body of the vehicle. The bearings of the assembly on the side of the engine are arranged at the level of the center of gravity and at a distance to the engine and are vertically aligned in such a way that the spring travels of the essentially excited rigid-body vibrations of the assembly extend in the same direction as the vertical longitudinal axes of the bearings. Each compression movement of the bearing that results from a bouncing and pitching vibration and/or a rolling movement can be led to it separately and can be damped jointly.
