This little piece is designed to absorb vibrations and dampen noise coming from the drivetrain. Specifically, it sits between the final drive unit – that’s essentially the gear housing where the power gets sent to the wheels – and the vehicle’s frame. It doesn’t actually do anything with the power itself, it just manages the side effects of all that spinning and meshing of gears. It's a cushion, basically. Think of it as a buffer. The final drive generates a lot of shaking and humming when the car’s moving, especially under load. The rubber mount’s job is to stop that vibration from transferring directly into the chassis of the vehicle. Without it, you'd feel a lot more of that in the seat and floorboards, and hear a lot more drivetrain noise. It keeps everything smoother and quieter inside the cabin. It’s usually mounted in several places around the final drive, helping to isolate it completely. A worn or broken rubber mount will let those vibrations loose. You’ll notice if it’s gone bad because you’ll feel more shaking, especially at certain speeds or when accelerating. It can also cause a clunking noise when shifting or going over bumps. Ignoring it isn't a good idea, because those vibrations can eventually damage other components – things like the frame itself, or even other drivetrain parts. A new one restores the comfort and quietness the vehicle was designed with. You can find a good replacement online – places like Fixparts Online usually have a solid selection. It's a relatively inexpensive part, and a really worthwhile repair. Suitable for all conditions: Rubber Mount (MPN A3634130012) includes a 12-month warranty!
