An elastic mount for a vehicle engine including an outer armature (1) intended to be connected to the engine, an inner armature (2) intended to be connected to the body (4) of the vehicle, and arms (5) made of elastic material connecting these two armatures together. The elastic material is bonded to the inner armature via the respective ends, of the arms the inner armature thus is radially covered with the elastic material. The two armatures have respectively complementary bearing surfaces capable of interacting so as to maintain the mutual centering of these two armatures in the axial direction in which the bearing surfaces are nested together as long as the mount is not subjected to the load of the engine. This interaction and the maintaining of centering are both automatically eliminated as soon as the mount is loaded by the engine.
