Cradle Chatenet : Fundamental support for your car without a license

Essential functions of the engine cradle Chatenet

The engine cradle fills several important functions: Maintenance of the engine position/box, alignment of the front train, structural rigidity, and absorption of vibrations via the silent-blocks. It serves as a basis for suspension and direction system. A good engine cradle preserves the comfort and mechanical performance of the car without a license.

Structural maintenance and alignment

The engine cradle firmly fixes the entire powertrain and ensures that the forces (acceleration, braking, turn) are distributed homogeneously. Correct alignment minimizes the stresses on the transmission and fixing points, avoiding deformations, noise, or secondary damage.

Vibration and comfort amortization

With the silent-Blocks, the engine cradle attenuates vibrations and road shocks, preserving the tranquility of the cabin. If the silent-Blocks are worn or loosened, the vibrations are transmitted directly to the crate, causing discomfort, fatigue of the driver, or even premature deterioration of the components of the direction or suspension.
