What are the symptoms of a bad engine mount?

[VanMaya]

Symptoms of a bad engine mount include: 1. The driver may feel engine vibration when reversing or starting the vehicle; 2. The engine shakes noticeably when the car is cold, but the condition improves after the engine warms up; 3. The driver can feel vibrations in the steering wheel and brake pedal when the engine is idling; 4. When driving over speed bumps, the driver may hear a 'thud' noise from the engine. The engine mount rubber is used to secure the engine to the vehicle frame. During engine operation, vibrations occur, and the presence of engine mount rubber helps prevent resonance between the engine and the frame, providing cushioning and vibration damping effects, ensuring comfort for both the driver and passengers.
