Sucker Clutched October 17, 2004 Share October 17, 2004 Hi there, I was told that the engine mounting for Manual Car is not suitable for an Auto Car. The Manual Car engine mounting is hard and the Auto Car will have vibrations. Is it correct? Thanks Sucker! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo 1st Gear October 17, 2004 Share October 17, 2004 nope.... dunno who tell u crappy stuff like this. afaik, u must use back the same type of engine mounting and should at all times use back OEM ones. there r 2 type of mounting. rubber padding (general cars) and hydraulic ones for more expensive/ continential cars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oogmsn Neutral Newbie January 19, 2010 Share January 19, 2010 Hi anyone knows if there is a way to change for engine mounting rubber cheaper? I was quoted at 380++ for the rubber, and I saw online that the rubber is less only around USD35 per pair online, but they only have it for left hand drive. Any kind soul can help to provide advise if there is cheaper alternative? My car is a Suzuki Swift 1.5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nmnhnlm Clutched January 20, 2010 Share January 20, 2010 You can buy the mountings and change youyself. You can use rubber mountings or those poly urethane aftermarket ones. I don't like Hydraulic mountings cause it leaks as it ages. Used to have a 318is and 520i. Hyro mountings, sucks. And still have vibration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've to change mine as well, the vibration of the car seems to be getting more pronounced and I'm not planning to change ride any time soon.

One word, 2 syllables...JAYBEE Changed mine there for about RM550 for the whole set including transmission mounts. Mine's not a Swift though, but I've seen quite a few local units running around there, so aftermarket original/OEM parts should be quite easily available...

A bit of hassle but still ok. Expensive meh? The pricing range is around there when I ask a few workshops and even my stockists for my Jap made car. For my Jap made car, engine mountings cannot be changed by layperson like myself. Need a mechanic to do it. There are parts that need to be dismantled to change the mountings and only a trained person can do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimkichin, mine is a 2005 model - SWIFT 1.5 AT. Basically, the problem started recently when I accelerate too suddenly, there will be a slight "thump" sound coming out from the engine area but no other issue when driving it. The workshop told me it's that problem with the engine mounting rubber & quoted me that price. What's the normal rate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byond 1st Gear January 20, 2010 Share January 20, 2010 bro, i also changed my engine mountings (mazda 2sp) for $460 last OCt 08... changed 3 of them... after changing, ride was smooth with minimal vibration... Anyway, mountings are wear and tear item... my driver's side mounting leaks, there is a crack at the rubber joint, which causes the oil to leak onto my engine bay...a very messy affair... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
