MOTOR MOUNTS

What are motor mounts? Why buy motor mounts?
Motor mounts are what your engine sits on. Usually manufactured using rubber to combat engine vibrations and chatter, rubber begins to deteriorate after continual use. Engines with failed mounts will usually allow the engine to rise during acceleration and slam back down on the front member during braking, creating a loud thud. Replacing these keeps your car in balance.

How do you install motor mounts?
Motor mounts are should be left to the pros as removal of the engine is needed. Mounts are usually reinstalled along with transmission mounts at the same time since theyĆ¢€™re easily accessible once the engine is pulled.

Which brand is dependable for motor mounts?
Energy Suspension and Prothane are two of the best aftermarket bushing manufacturers.
