Is Engine Mount Damage Serious?

[LaAlan]

Engine mount damage can cause severe vibrations during operation, potentially creating hazards while driving. Therefore, damaged mounts should be replaced immediately. Engine Mount Classification: Divided into torque mounts and engine mount rubbers. Torque mounts are a type of engine fastener, typically connected between the front axle of the vehicle body and the engine. Engine Mount Installation: The engine mount rubber is a rubber block directly installed at the bottom of the engine, while the torque mount resembles an iron rod and is installed on the side of the engine. The torque mount also includes a torque mount rubber for vibration damping. Symptoms of damaged engine mounts include: jerking movements when driving with high torque in low gears, hesitation when reversing (requiring increased throttle to resolve); significant engine vibration when starting or turning on air conditioning, noticeable steering wheel vibration at high speeds, with accompanying vibration in the accelerator and brake pedals; and a rubber friction sound often heard during acceleration in second or third gear.
