Does a damaged engine mount affect the car?
1 Answers
Car engine mounts being damaged do not directly affect the car's operation, but they can significantly reduce ride comfort. When the engine mounts are damaged, occupants may feel noticeable vibrations inside the vehicle as engine vibrations are transmitted to the chassis, thereby affecting ride quality. The comfort benefits of engine mounts manifest in two aspects: first, they provide some heat insulation, and second, they absorb vibrations. Engine mounts are located on the left, right, and rear sides of the engine. Their functions include: 1. Absorbing vibrations generated during engine operation through rubber components in the mounts, which help eliminate resonance; 2. Containing hydraulic oil to provide vibration damping functionality.
