A subframe for a vehicle with an improved mounting arrangement is provided. The subframe includes a first member extending transverse to the longitudinal frame rails on a vehicle frame and is mounted to the frame at a first mounting point between the frame rails. The subframe further includes second and third members that extend from either side of the first member to support suspension control arms, spring/shock units, and a steering linkage. The second and third members are coupled to the frame rails at second and third mounting points. The three mounting points form a generally triangular mounting arrangement that enables greater deflection of the frame rails. Rubber isolators may be used at the mounting points to further increase frame rail deflection and reduce vibration. Further, the second and third members form spring seats for the spring/shock units at locations outboard of the frame rails thereby moving spring reaction points outboard of the vehicle frame.
