  • In this video I showcase the best ways to confirm if your engine mount needs to be replaced, this is the same process to diagnose any failed mount no matter the design make or model.
    I work on a Ford Focus 2.0 litre in this video but the method applies to pretty much all Makes and Models.

    A friend has a 2018 Ford Escape that pulls sharply to the right under acceleration. I have test driven it and it has no vibration, clunking or any other noises, etc. The engine does not torque, vibrate or jerk at idle and then when you blip the accelerator pedal. Nothing unusual other than sharp pulling. It drives straight until you quickly depress the accelerator pedal. Any suggestions? thx

    Nice video. I think that I also have a bad engine mount on my car, but I'm not sure. My gearstick moves up and down when I just press gas pedal a bit, and when I change gears there's a lot of "jerk" even if I change them almost at 4k RPM. Also, sometimes randomly I can hear some vibrations in my cabin, but it does not happen all the time. So yeah, is it engine mount or something else? And yes, it's just a 1.2 Clio from 2005 if someone wonders.

    Just sell your car after it gets 45,000 miles on it and buy a new one. Any more miles and things start to fail. Just get a new car and keep buying a new car every time you run up 45K on the car. Let some other smuck deal with the problems they are destined to have.
