Engine mount full name has many kinds, such as foot glue, engine buffer glue, engine fixing glue, is an important part of the engine and body connection, most vehicles have 3-4 engine mount.
The engine as a power source, once started, it is always vibrating, in order to slow down its vibration conduction to the body, so there is this engine mount.
The role of engine mount：
Engine mount is used to install the engine on the frame, the role is to support the powertrain, reduce the impact of the vibration of the powertrain on the vehicle, limit the amount of jitter of the powertrain, it works very important role on the NVH performance of the vehicle.
Therefore, in order to improve driving comfort, protect the cabin parts from damage due to shaking collision. The normal operation of the engine mount plays an important role.
How to judge the failure of engine mount：
1.The most intuitive manifestation is the shaking of the car body, and at a certain speed, it will cause the resonance of the engine, and some will even cause the resonance of the instrument panel of the car and the car door.
2.Take a look at whether the car is shaking at idle or accelerating, if shake only idle, then it may be caused shake by internal engine. If it is shake when accelerated, resonance in a certain range, it may be the problem of engine mount.
3. The engine shake obviously when reversing, much more serious than before.
4.When the car temperature is lowest, is the most obvious engine shake, and it is obviously improved after the car temperature going up.
5.The steering wheel vibrates at idle, and the brake pedal vibrates noticeably.
6.When through the speed bump, the engine will have noisy like knock, knock sound, which indicates that the engine mount is basically worn away, indicating that the engine and the frame are rigid contact.
How often to change the engine mount：
The main material is rubber of engine mount, and is very durable, as long as the proper driving, the engine mount can no need be replaced for whole life, so no need to treat it as a consumable. If have to give a time limit, it is generally no problem to use while five years. If you need to change engine mount in 2 or 3 years, it means that you usually drive too fast, pass the speed bump, and pass some bad road sections, the speed is definitely above 50km/h. Remember the slow place to slow down!
Warm tips：
1.If one of them is not replaced in time after damage, it will destroy the balance and cause the other two to accelerate damage. Therefore, when the engine mount is damaged, it needs to be replaced in time.
2.When you find a problem with the engine mount, it is recommended to check whether the other engine mount is damaged: if there is a problem, it should be replaced at the same time. Otherwise, it will affect the effect after replacement, because as long as there is a problem with any engine mount, the vehicle resonance problem cannot be solved. After change the engine mount, it makes the engine run smoother and more stable, giving the driver more comfortable handling while in the cabin.
In daily driving, it's important to develop a habit of steady driving, especially slowing down when going over speed bumps or uneven roads, to prevent premature aging of the engine mounts. Also, perform regular maintenance and check the condition of the engine mounts, and address any abnormal vibrations or noise promptly. Maintaining healthy engine mounts ensures stable engine operation and a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable ride.
