A drive unit includes mounts coupled to an existing structure (e.g., steering rack) in a vehicle. The steering rack may provide mass damping to the drive unit during operation, thus providing NVH performance. The mounts may include an isolator designed to provide isolation for a component from vibration generated by the drive unit. Alternatively, a steering rack housing may carry isolators, and the mounts may couple to the isolators in the steering rack housing. Using an existing structure in the vehicle, the number of components and manufacturing complexity may be reduced.
