Abstract

A bearing arrangement for a drive assembly of a motor vehicle, particularly for a transverse three-cylinder engine, holds the drive assembly on the body side utilizing several bearings as well as a torque support. A central bearing is arranged below a horizontal plane extending through a center of gravity of the assembly, the torque support being located above this horizontal plane. The central bearing and the torque support are arranged approximately at a common vertical transverse plane extending through the center of gravity, and a support bearing is held on the front end of the assembly and is supported with respect to the vehicle body.
