The primary purpose of engine mount is to secure an engine into machinery, and to then absorb any shocks  and vibrations when the machinery is operating. The anti-vibration  properties of engine mounts are essential for preventing damage to the  engine and for improving operator comfort (where applicable). However,  no matter the quality of engine mounts, they begin to wear down after  usage and require replacement. Not replacing an engine mount that is  past its prime can inflict damage to the engine, cause discomfort for  operators and potentially be a safety risk. Being aware of the signs of a  worn engine mount will help you to identify when they need replacing.  

1. Increased Vibrations
 

If you start your engine and notice that it is making more of a noise  than usual, and can feel more vibrations than usual, this is a key sign  of a worn engine mount and it may need replacing. If an engine mount is  damaged, its anti-vibration properties weaken. An increase in  vibrations leads to the engine making more of a sound than usual –  something that can be extremely damaging to an engine if it continues  for a long time.

2. Rocky Start
 

Upon starting a machine, you may notice an excessive lurch that  doesn’t feel or sound healthy. This is a common indicator of a worn or  damaged engine mount. This lurch then often steadies into a constant  vibration, but you may then also experience a lurch when turning the  ignition off.

3. A Bumpier Ride
 

Often, an engine mount that needs replacing can cause a jolt when  changing gears on an attached transmission. This jolt or thump can also  be noticeable when travelling at faster speeds due to the engine working  harder. If your machine doesn’t feel as smooth as usual, this can often  be down to a damaged engine mount.  

4. Impact Noises
 

A worn engine mount can often lead to ‘clunks’ and ‘bangs’ within its  surroundings/engine bay. This is as a result of the engine moving  around more than normal and making contact with other components, which  in turn can cause impact sounds that become quite noticeable.

5. Visual Wear
 

With use, the metal part of an engine mount does change in  appearance. However, if you can see any significant corrosion, cracks or  warps to the part, it is likely that excessive wear will be occurring  to the rest of the mount. If you notice any cracks or flaking to the  rubber aspect of an engine mount, this can potentially limit its  performance depending on the severity of the cracks and the route cause.  The efficiency and effectiveness of engine mounts relies on their form  and shape, and so any changes to this can be damaging to the engine. If  you do notice any of these signals, you should look into replacing  engine mounts as quickly as possible.

If you experience any of these signs, it’s best to get the engine checked out and consider replacing the engine mounts. Contact us today, if you would like any more information or assistance.
