Suitable for MAN Trucks and Buses
This rubber pad, manufactured by MAN with MPN 81960200341, is a critical component used in engine mounting systems. It's designed to dampen vibrations and reduce noise transmitted from the engine to the vehicle chassis, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable driving experience. Measuring 85 x 105 x 105 mm, this pad provides robust support and long-lasting durability, contributing to the overall reliability and longevity of the engine mount assembly.
These pads, honestly, they do a pretty simple job, but it’s a vital one. They’re basically cushions, designed to absorb vibrations and impacts. They sit between the engine – which is a pretty heavy, constantly moving piece of machinery – and the vehicle’s frame. They also help to limit engine movement.
Think of it like this, your engine isn't bolted solidly to the car’s frame. That’d transfer all that shaking right into the cabin, and you'd feel everything. This rubber pad acts like a shield, softening all that, so you have a smoother, quieter ride. It allows some controlled movement, which helps prevent stress cracks in the engine or frame, but keeps things generally stable. They’re typically part of a larger engine mount assembly – the rubber pad is a key component of that.
You’ll notice if these go bad. You’ll probably feel more vibration than usual in the steering wheel, the seats, even the floor. It might sound like the engine is running rougher than it is, or like there’s a clunking sound when you start it up, accelerate, or go over bumps. Over time, the rubber degrades—it can dry out, crack, or simply compress. That means it doesn’t absorb vibrations as well. Ignoring it can lead to bigger problems, like damage to other parts. You can find replacements pretty easily; places like Fixparts Online carry a good selection. Replacing them is usually fairly straightforward, but it can depend on your vehicle.
