What is an engine mount pad?

[AngelinaLynn]

An engine mount pad is a cushion for the engine that prevents the vibrations generated by the engine's high-speed rotation from being transmitted to the vehicle body. Method for replacing an automobile engine mount pad: Use a jack to support the engine; open the hood, remove the air filter cover and tube; remove the filter base; take out the old mount pad and replace it with a new one. Functions of the engine mount pad: Eliminate the resonance generated during engine operation; reduce hydraulic oil pressure. Once the mount pad is damaged, significant resonance will occur between the engine and the frame, causing the vehicle body to shake and various abnormal noises to appear. Generally, automobile engine mount pads should be replaced every 6 years, but they must be replaced promptly once damaged.
