Sub-frames are located on?

Sub-frames are rigid mounting structures that support the suspension (and often the engine or rear drivetrain) while isolating the body from road shocks. This setup keeps suspension geometry stable and reduces vibrations transmitted to the passenger compartment. In most modern unibody cars you’ll find a front sub-frame that carries the engine and the front suspension, and a rear sub-frame that supports the rear suspension (and sometimes the rear drivetrain components). Because they serve these roles, sub-frames are located at both the front and the rear of the vehicle.
