What are the symptoms of a bad engine mount?

[FelixDella]

Engine mount failure primarily manifests as noise during vehicle startup. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive engine mounts: Overview: An engine mount is a cushion that connects the engine to the vehicle body. Most are made of rubber, while a few are hydraulic products. Under normal circumstances, engine mounts can last for more than 6 years without a specific replacement interval. However, when signs of cracking, aging, or corrosion appear on the engine mount, it must be replaced promptly. Function: The main function of engine mounts is to reduce the vibration transmitted from the engine to the vehicle frame. The rubber components in engine mounts can eliminate resonance generated during engine operation. Some mounts also feature hydraulic oil pressure relief functionality. When the mount is damaged, vibrations from the engine can cause the entire vehicle body to shake.
