Importance of Engine Mounts

If you put a fragile item into a box and shake it around, it will probably become damaged. The item may even damage the box itself. However, if you secure the fragile item using rods and cushions to hold it in place, it will stay still when the box is shaken. Engine mounts work in the exact same way.

Here are some of the benefits of using good quality, rubber engine mounts:

• Reduce excess vibration and noise
• Keep engines from sustaining damage
• Extend the lifespan of the engine and connected sensor components
• Keep transmission and other vital parts from sustaining damage

Engine mounts are designed to absorb the energy of the system and become worn out after a while and may require a replacement. It’s important not to wait to replace your engine mount or your vehicle may be damaged.

When does it need replacement?

Engine mounts are pretty robust and usually last for 5-7 years before they wear off. But regular checks and inspections are always a good idea.

Now, how would you know if there is something wrong with the engine mount? Don’t worry, we got you!

Increased Vibrations

If you notice a sudden unusual increase in vibration and noise then there is a high chance that your engine mount needs replacement. If this mount is damaged, its vibration absorption property weakens. So if you experience this, do get your car checked.

Uneasy or Rocky start

If there’s a sudden lurch or feel a rocky start when you start your vehicle then there is a high chance that your engine mount is damaged and it needs a check

Bumpier Ride

The engine mount is attached to the transmission in some way and you’ll feel a sudden jolt while changing gears then it’s likely that and you usually feel at high speeds when the machinery is not functioning smoothly. In such a case, stop and take your car to the near GoMechanic workshop for a check.

Noise

A well-used motor mount can regularly prompt ‘thumps’ and ‘bangs’ inside its environmental factors/motor sound. This is because of the motor moving around more than typical and connecting with different parts, which thusly can cause sway sounds that become very perceptible.

Visual Wear and Tear

There is no significant damage that you can see visually to the engine mount. However, if you see small cracks, it is most likely that there is significant damage to the engine mount. Also if you see any cracks or flaking to the rubber part, it can severely affect the performance of the vehicle. The smoothness of the vehicle is directly in relation to the shape and form of the engine mount so it’s important that it remains in topnotch condition.

So there you go, all you need to know to keep your engine mount safe and healthy!
