A chassis mount for a vehicle having a chassis and a wheel suspension includes an approximately frustoconical rubber body having a lower surface and being retained in the chassis. A central bushing is disposed inside the rubber body. A bolt has ends and is guided in the central bushing. A fork structure articulatingly connects the ends of the bolt to the wheel suspension. A hydraulically damping mount element has two liquid chambers communicating with one another through an overflow conduit. The chambers include a working chamber with an upper surface. The hydraulically damping mount element is mounted as a modular component onto the lower surface of the rubber body with the lower surface of the rubber body forming the upper end surface of the working chamber.

Chassis mount

A hydraulic-damping two-chamber engine mount includes a working chamber and a compensating chamber. A conical jacket-like elastomeric wall has an end surface and a bearing plate is disposed on the end surface and borders the working chamber along with the elastomeric wall. The bearing plate has a cylindrical attachment with an end protruding into the working chamber. A rigid intermediate plate has an overflow conduit formed therein providing communication between the chambers. An integrated tension stop in the form of an annular stop plate has an inner edge suspended with play on the end of the cylindrical attachment for damping axial and radial mobility of the stop plate. A substantially conical jacket-like stop ring is provided for engaging the stop plate from above.
