What are the symptoms of a damaged engine mount?
1 Answers
There are several symptoms of a damaged engine mount: 1. You can clearly feel the steering wheel vibrating when the engine is idling. 2. You can also distinctly feel vibrations when sitting in the seat. 3. However, there is no fluctuation in RPM, and you can perceive engine vibration. 4. During driving conditions, abnormal noises may occur when accelerating or decelerating sharply. 5. For automatic transmission vehicles, you may feel a mechanical impact sensation when shifting into drive or reverse gear. 6. Abnormal noises may emanate from the chassis during vehicle startup and braking. The primary function of engine mounts is to install the engine on the frame and isolate vibrations generated during engine operation, thereby mitigating vibrations. They are also referred to as engine mounting pads or engine mounting rubbers.
