Abstract
A roll restrictor for restraining movement of a vehicle powertrain relative to a vehicle sub-frame. The roll restrictor has a bracket for coupling to the sub-frame in the form of a generally U-shaped housing defining a central cavity. A link arm for coupling to the powertrain has a first end positioned within the cavity and extends through an opening in the bracket. A plurality of resilient elements are disposed within the cavity between the housing and the first end of the link arm to resist movement of the first end relative to the bracket.
