Abstract: A mount for engine, gearbox or similar parts of a motor vehicle has a bearing body (1) of elastomer material, the bearing body (1) being subjected to tensile stress. In the bearing body (1), a self-contained liner (6) is provided, which is elastically deformable in the plane of the bearing body, is of extensible, resiliently compliant material and has an initially spread, unstretched initial shape. Until reaching a stretched position, the bearing body (1) alone is subjected to tensile stress. On exceeding the stretched position of the liner (6), bearing body (1) and liner (6) are subjected to tensile stress.
