What are the reasons for increased vibration after replacing engine mounts?
1 Answers
The reasons for increased vibration after replacing engine mounts are: 1. Drive shaft issues: For front-wheel drive vehicles, you can replace both half-shafts; for rear-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles, you can remove the rear drive shaft for testing. 2. Wheel hub deformation or tire deformation: You can swap the front and rear tires for testing - if the vibration stops, it indicates slight deformation in the front tires or wheel hubs. The functions of engine mounts are: 1. To reduce resonance between the body and engine, minimizing resonance noise. 2. To alleviate gear shift jerkiness. The location of engine mounts is vertically below the coolant reservoir and beneath the exhaust pipe behind the engine.
