Engine Mounts (Tech Tip)
The purpose of Engine/Motor & transmission mounts: Most mounts make by metal and rubber, many newer model mounts are filled with hydraulic fluid, some advance hydraulic mounts comes with electronic variable speed control by ECM (engine control module). The basic design are the same to support between engine, transmission and sub-frame. They work hard to keeping engine and transmission running smooth minimizes the amount of rattling and vibration from acceleration and stops. At the same time mounts are supporting all major power train system keeping all mechanical components in balance level and position.
Broken Engine Mounts
Broken engine mount or excess play can caused vibration and rattling noise at acceleration and stops , broken engine / transmission mounts can caused Transmission oil seals leaks, internal bearing failure, axle failure, air intake hose broken, and more...
How to inspect engine & transmission mounts:
