Provided herein are embodiments of a mount for joining a substructure to a vehicle frame. The mount allows the substructure to float on the frame by permitting vertical movement of the substructure relative to the frame. Further, the mount restricts lateral and fore/aft movement of the substructure on the frame, helping to reduce any further contributions to frame torque. The mount is joined to the frame at a lower end and has a crook-shaped or C-shaped profile that wraps around an alignment tab of the substructure. Further, a rubber pad is provided on the alignment tab, and the mount has a structure, such as one or more stops, bolts, or pins, that extends downwardly around or through the rubber tab. It is the downwardly extending structure allows for the vertical movement of the substructure while also preventing substantial lateral and fore/aft movement of the substructure relative to the frame.
