rennwerkes Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Can anyone tell me what the symptoms of a bad engine mount are? Any instruction on the board on how to R&R one? Tried to do a search but turned up nothing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to do a search but turned up nothing. Thanks! vibration of the motor is a good indicator, or a feeling of "imbalance" when driving over rough road, sometimes if it is completely busted it can actually jump a bit and clunk on landing.. they are easy enough to check, with a bright flashlight and a good eye. if a motor mount is broken, replace it.

Slick Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 (edited) Thanks but what am I looking for?A crack or fluid leaking? motor mounts are not fluid filled, they are solid metal with a boot lookin thing on em...... so you are looking for broken or missing bolts, separation of the mount from the frame, or broken off from the actual engine block edit* there are 2 bolts that mount the motor mount to the frame, and 2 (or 3) more to the engine block. (14mm) here's a pic of a motor mount.... Edited July 8, 2007 by Slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennwerkes Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Ah, okay, thanks! I know some mounts are hydraulic in nature so will leak fluid when they go bad. Mine are wet so it must be a leak from somewhere else. I'll give it a better look later. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slick Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Driver side. meh, could be a lot of stuff.... leaky VC, RMS, residue from an oil change. i wouldn't worry about it unless you notice visible leaks on the motor...... all my motor mounts have crap stuck to em... they seem to be in a real good spot to get pooped on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
