pendulum support

Pendulum support:
A pendulum support is an engine support that is mounted on the underside of the car. This support is mounted on the underside of the engine (at the height of the bottom of the oil pan and gearbox) and the other side is on the body or subframe. The pendulum support ensures that the engine block does not tilt when accelerating or releasing the throttle. This support is only found in cars with the engine in transverse direction (so with the hood open the cylinders are from left to right and not from front to back).
