A forward mount (36, 74) assembly for connecting a pylon (12) to an intermediate case (26) of a gas turbine engine (10), the forward mount assembly (36, 74) includes a forward mount platform (58), a wiffle tree assembly (60), and first and second A-arms (62A, 62B). The platform (58) is connected to the pylon (12) and is disposed adjacent the intermediate case (26). The wiffle tree assembly (60) is connected to the forward mount platform (58) through a first ball joint (64D). The first A-arm (62A) is connected to a first side of the intermediate case (26) and the second A-arm (62B) is connected to a second opposing side of the intermediate case (26). The first and second A-arms (62A, 62B) are mounted to the forward mount platform (58) and are mounted to opposing ends of the wiffle tree (60). The aforementioned arrangement allows the first and second A-arms (62A, 62B) to react a thrust load at the intermediate case (26) substantially parallel to a centerline axis (C) of the gas turbine engine (10).
