Abstract
A differential gear housing is connected to the vehicle body through at least one first elastic member which deforms in shear mode when the housing vibrates up or down or back and forth to the vehicle body and additionally through at least one second elastic member which deforms in both shear and compression modes when the housing vibrates up and down and in only shear mode when the housing vibrates back and forth. Since the deformation mode of the second elastic member changes from shear mode to compression mode gradually with increasing displacement of the member, it is possible to obtain a desirable elastic modulus such that the elastic members are soft when vibrations are small but hard when vibrations are strong, without any points of discontinuity.
