What are the effects of a broken engine mount?
1 Answers
The effects of a broken engine mount include idle speed fluctuations, steering wheel vibration, and severe body shaking. The engine mount is a rubber buffer block that connects the engine to the frame, serving to reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the cabin, ensuring smoother and more stable engine operation for a better driving experience. Damage to the engine mount primarily affects engine vibrations. High-speed engine noise may be more related to gradual engine wear and aging rather than being specifically caused by a worn-out engine mount used for 1 or 2 years. Sometimes, changing to a high-quality engine oil can significantly improve engine vibration and noise. Under normal conditions, engine mounts can last for more than 6 years without a specific replacement interval. However, if inspection reveals signs of cracking, aging, or corrosion, the engine mount must be replaced.
