Engine Mount Replacement Services
Whether you are cruising along a beautiful beach or driving down the highway, your car depends on the engine mount. Typically made of steel or rubber, the engine mount has two important purposes – primarily to secure the engine and transmission to the car’s frame; and secondarily to absorb the engine vibrations and road shocks. It ensures that the driver and the passengers in the car don’t feel the strong engine movements. Unfortunately, engine and transmission mounts are the overlooked causes of the noise and vibrations from the car engines. A loose or broken motor mount allows excessive engine movement, which can cause the belt-driven fan to hit the fan shroud or the radiator hoses.
