Abstract
An apparatus and methods are provided for suspending a rear-mounted drivetrain assembly in a chassis of an off-road vehicle. The apparatus includes one or more front mounts for coupling a frontmost portion of the drivetrain assembly to the chassis. The front mounts suspend the frontmost portion from a seat crossmember comprising the chassis. A rearmost portion of the drivetrain assembly is suspended from a rear portion of the chassis by way of a hanger. The hanger is coupled with the rear portion of the chassis by way of one or more mounts disposed on a pair of lower rear stays comprising the chassis. Experimentation has demonstrated that suspending the drivetrain assembly within the rear portion of the chassis prevents impacts on the bottom of the chassis from affecting drivetrain alignment.
