What are the consequences of not replacing engine mounts?
1 Answers
Failure to replace engine mounts in a timely manner can lead to increased vehicle vibration, accelerating the wear and tear of internal components. Below are specific details about engine mounts: 1. Vibration Dampening: During engine operation, certain vibrations are generated. The rubber components in engine mounts help eliminate resonance produced by the engine. 2. Pressure Relief Function: Some engine mounts also feature hydraulic pressure relief. If a mount is damaged, the vibrations from the engine can cause the entire vehicle body to vibrate. 3. Impact of Damage: Typically, there are three engine mounts secured to the vehicle frame. If one is damaged and not replaced promptly, it disrupts balance and can accelerate the deterioration of the other two.
