A suspension mount assembly for mounting a subframe to a frame of a vehicle having a frame rail is provided. The suspension mount assembly includes a cross member and a stay. The cross member is coupled to the frame rail and at least partially defines a recess. The subframe includes a distal end at least partially positioned within the recess at a mounting point defined along a central axis of the recess. The stay couples the cross member to the frame rail and retains the subframe at least partially positioned within the recess at the mounting point.

A method of making a composite component and the composite component is disclosed. The composite component can comprise multiple portions with different materials. By configuring the composite component with different materials, the weight of the composite component can be reduced while maintaining the strength and support of the composite component for a cockpit assembly. Furthermore, the method provides for an increase in the efficiency of the die casting process used to create the composite component.
