Consequences of changing engine mounting

[Kr_toy]

lazy to read thru entire thread.

old and cracked engine mountings will cause excessive vibration to the engine inside the engine bay.

but new ones will definately cause more vibration to the entire cabin cos the engine is held mroe firmly and thus vibration is transferred directly

over from the engine to beyond the firewall.

 

Do check with the workshop , what kind of engine mountings they replaced for you.

my experience is , i have swopped in a set of cusco engine mountings and engine torque

damper , i can feel the excessive vibration even when car is idling.

and sometimes it got so ridiculous that my rear view mirror might shake out of place.

and yes most if not all the time when i drive , my side mirrors seems blurry. ( my side mirrors have these wordings "object appeals to be ........." and the words are always blurry )

New original mount will not give harsher vibration and normal car doesnt come with torque damper which is the source of all vibrations

errr new engines mounts damp actually dampens engine vibrations better as the rubber has not hardened. (do not know about the newer liquid filled ones)

Was thinking about changing my engine mountings, now no longer that sure ....

[So_nice]

juz choose the right workshop lor.

 

TS, u really need to change a another workshop cuz they are farking lousy! even the no brand workshop i went to is better then tat dunno wat garage u went to.

[Byond]

if engine mounts worn out

best to changed

use back original oem

if urs is a toyota, use back toyota

if urs is a mazda, use back mazda

will not go wrong one

 

i change my mounts two times in 3.5 years

no such problem one

i believe the WS that TS have engaged leaves much to be desired, esp on giving such response and after sales service if based on what TS said is true.

 

if u need a ws, i can recommend

a non glamourous ws, but one that can do that job.

Yep, changing of enging mountings is suppose to reduce the vibration, NOT increase it. The rubber in the old mounting have hardened and cracked, that's why the vibration will even more.

Liquid filled mountings are actually better in damping vibration...actually WAY better....BTW are u aware that the Nissan Teana comes with 6 engine mounts ? Most of them liquid filled ?

changed my mountings for my little Kelisa when it hit 55,000Km at Comfort Delgro.. used diahatsu original ones. About $500 plus for everything and the vibrations in my auto car got noticiably less. Its a minimum 1 day job.

[Zyrofillica]

no i didnt know that.

[Blackseal]

no i didnt know that.

 

No wonder NVH for that car is quite good

 

But when time to change all mountings....sure

[Zyrofillica]

never sit in one before

 

expensive ah?

Normal cars have 3 to 4 engine mounts depending on make.....The Teana is the only Jap I can think of that comes with 6 ! Some established contis dun even have that many.....More engine mounts = higher cost

Original Daihatsu parts are freaking expensive in Singapore unless you are driving those green colour Daihatsu lorries. Cost more than conti cars.

Thanks for the updated...
