What are the consequences of not replacing engine mounts?
1 Answers
Engine mounts not being replaced can lead to symptoms such as steering wheel vibration at idle, body shaking, and loud resonance noises from the vehicle. The engine mount rubber contains rubber components that help eliminate resonance generated during engine operation, significantly reducing the transmission of engine vibrations to the vehicle body. Engine mounts consist of two parts: one part connects to the engine, and the other part connects to the vehicle frame, with rubber acting as the intermediary between them. This design ensures that the engine and frame are no longer rigidly connected. The rubber buffer greatly reduces engine vibrations and also serves as a power buffer during acceleration, minimizing the reactive forces from the engine to the frame. This not only benefits the frame but also enhances overall driving comfort.
