    Replace every 5 to 7 years, you'll be good. If you don't maintain your engine mounts, the connection between the engine and the transmission will ware, and you'll have major issues later.

I need you advise of what I did wrong im thinking maybe the 2 parts I bought from auto zone was a bad idea. Should I go to ford and buy the other 2 mounts this vibrating is so annoying.

  • @Dnasty1
    @Dnasty1 2 роки тому +1

    What exactly constitutes significant engine movement? I change my motor mounts and the engine still moves when I hold brake and accelerate although I can tell from in the cabin that the mounts are good. I took it to some mechanic in the hood who I assume was trying to rip me off but was showing me the engine moved and that I need new mounts. It did seem like a lot but again I know they are new and good.

    Replacing just one will more than likely ruin the new one soon because the old ones are still allowing too much movement putting too much stress on new mount.

    Different car, but I have a 01 Pontiac Grand Prix SE.
    I had a real bad vibration under acceleration.
    My front mount was real bad. I replaced the front mount, got rid of 95 % of my vibration under acceleration.
    I still have a slight vibration under acceleration.
    Should I flip my dog bone bushings, or replace the transmission mount, or both?
    But some people say flipping the dog bone mount bushings may add slight vibration.
    I don't want any vibration.

    Bad mounts are not bad in of themselves. They feel like you’re tryna gear when you’re revving. Problem is with excessive shaking, all the auxiliary parts to the engine deteriorate and might out right break.

    Hello, thanks so much for the video. I wonder where you are located. I am in northen California. I have a Chevy Cavalier 2002 that has exactly that problem since 2 weeks ago, broken engine mount. Jerking noise when changing into gear and reverse, and vibrations and noises when going up hill. My mechanic did a quick fix, moving heater hose out of the way, and placing some rubber while he's trying to find the part. He said it'll cost me over 400-500$, but after seeing your video, it seems such an excessive amount, so I wonder if by any chance you are located in this area and could help me, and if not, maybe you know some reliable mechanic that could. Thanks so much!

    Would bad motor mounts cause rotors to warp? I have had to replace my rotors 3 times in 1.5 years. I drive very slowly and dont jam on the breaks. The car axels and ball joints are solid. cant find anything wrong in the front end. Mechanics could not find the problem. I am well versed with working on cars. Have works on every car I have owned and never had a problem with rotors warping after replacement. Car also skips when I cut the wheel sharply. almost like the front end is swaying when the wheel is cut.

When I take curves to the left, and when the body of the vehicle leans to the right, I can hear and feel under my feet, specially in the front passenger side of the vehicle a tapping sound, like if something is knocking below the floor upwards, What can it be?? I have changed suspension parts like struts, shocks, upper and lower control arms, ball joints, front sway bar bushings and nothing has fixed the knocking sound. I am very worried. What can it be???
