  • Patent number: 9394028
    Abstract: A stabilized rubber mounted drivetrain includes a standard rubber mounted drivetrain, further comprising a swingarm pivotal axle, rubber isolators, support brackets; and swingarm stabilizers, which each further include a stabilizer cap, a thrust bearing, and a spacer, such that a swingarm stabilizer is mounted to both ends of the swingarm pivot axle. The stabilized rubber mounted drivetrain provides increased stability of the rubber isolators and the swing arm pivotal axle, to ensure the drivetrain is held in place during driving events with lateral forces. The stabilizer cap can include a stabilizer cap head, a stabilizer cap flange, and a stabilizer cap body, and can be machined from one piece of a metal alloy or assembled from separate parts.
