Abstract
A subframe assembly for a vehicle includes a multipart subframe having two spaced-apart longitudinal members and two spaced-apart cross members connecting the longitudinal members. A transfer case is supported on the subframe between the longitudinal and cross members and has an input shaft in driving relation to two output shafts, and a bearing element which extends in axis-parallel relation to the input shaft and which is shifted in a direction of one of the longitudinal members and projects from the transfer case. A first one of the cross members is crossed by a portion of the transfer case at a crossing section and has two shell parts connected to one another at least at one area. Each shell part has a bracket, with the bracket of one shell part and the bracket of the other shell part jointly forming a bearing mount for the bearing element.
