What Are the Symptoms of a Bad Engine Mount?
1 Answers
Engine mount failure primarily manifests as noise during vehicle startup. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive engine mounts: 1. Overview: An engine mount is a cushioning component that connects the engine to the vehicle frame. Most are made of rubber, while a minority use hydraulic components. Typically, engine mounts can last over 6 years without a defined replacement interval. However, they must be replaced immediately when showing signs of cracking, aging, or corrosion. 2. Function: The primary purpose of engine mounts is to reduce engine vibration transmission to the chassis. The rubber elements in engine mounts absorb resonance generated during engine operation. Some mounts also feature hydraulic pressure reduction capabilities. When damaged, engine vibration will propagate throughout the entire vehicle body.
