What is the function of the engine mount?
The engine mount or
engine mounting supports the engine from below. To ensure a good suspension, every car needs several
engine mounts.
Part of the engine mount’s purpose is similar to that of the
shock absorbers for example. An engine mount is made of rubber in order to absorb the movements and shocks of the engine when driving as well as the latter’s own weight.
Over time, the rubber perishes and starts to crack. At this point it is time to replace your
engine mount.
