Key Features & Benefits

These things basically hold your engine and transmission in place. They don't just rigidly bolt it in, though. They’re designed to absorb vibrations – the shaking you feel when the engine’s running. They allow a little movement, which keeps things from cracking and protects the chassis. There's usually a rubber or fluid – filled core inside that does most of that dampening. They come in different strengths too, depending on what the vehicle’s designed for. Think of it like this: the engine is constantly working, right? It’s making power, and that creates a lot of shaking. The engine supports are the connection points between that shaking engine and the frame of the car. They isolate the chassis and the cabin from that vibration. It's not just about comfort, though. They also support the weight of the engine and transmission assembly, keeping everything properly aligned. You’ll often find several of these – one on either side, and maybe one at the rear of the engine or transmission.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if these wear out, things get uncomfortable pretty quickly. You’ll feel a lot more vibration in the steering wheel, the seats, even the floorboards. It can make driving a really rough experience. More than that, the increased vibration can actually damage other parts over time, like suspension components or even the engine itself. They're a key part of preventing stress fractures and keeping everything running smoothly. If you notice excessive engine movement when you rev the engine, or a clunking sound when shifting gears, it's a good sign the engine supports are going bad. We carry a pretty good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and you can usually find a match for your vehicle pretty easily. Replacing them isn’t the most fun job, but it'll make a big difference in how your car rides and lasts.
