Mitsubishi Mount Replacement in Abu Dhabi
MOUNT REPLACEMENT
What is Engine Mount?
An engine mount can be defined as a special support system that withholds the engine and transition system at their places. Usually, one mount is the bolt transmission and Mitsubishi frame, whereas two or more mounts are used to bolt engines. Engine mounts are often created from rubber to avoid any sort of additional friction or sound. Some engine mounts are also filled with liquid to avoid wear and tear. This was the engine mount meaning, let’s discuss different types of engine mounts in detail.
Types of Engine Mounts
The engine mounts have been greatly modified since their initiation. Currently, there are multiple types of engine mounts used in Mitsubishi. Here we have listed some most commonly used engine mounts.
- Hydraulic Mount: These mounts are filled with fluid or gel. It is used in high power engines like V8 and V12 engines.
- Solid Rubber Mount: These are solid rubber mounts backed by steel plates. This material combination provides higher shock absorbance and flexibility for movement.
- Metal Mount: These are the most strongest and stiff mounts that directly transfer all the additional energy to the tyres.
- Electronic (Active) Mount: These mounts are connected with a Mitsubishi computer and act as per the vibration and sound being produced. The mount stiffness damping characteristics are variable in active mounts.
Importance of Engine Mount
The engine mounts should be confused with a normal nut and bolt. These are specially designed shock absorbers to reduce the impact of vibration created by the engine. By holding Mitsubishi transmission and engine in place mounts work both ways. It secures the engine position and reduces the wear and tear of the Mitsubishi frame and chassis. See the following postulates that elaborate the importance of the engine mount.
- Secure engine from damages
- Lowers the impact of vibration and reduce noises
- Safeguard chassis and transmission from damage
- Increase the lifespan of engine parts and sensors connected to it
Common Causes of Failing Engine Mount
With no exception, engine mounts secure their significant position under the hood. For its proper functioning, regular maintenance and precautionary measures are necessary. Here is the list of common problems that lead to a worn-out engine mount.
- Incorrect installations of mount lead to improper fitting that increases vibrations and sound. This can cause damage to both the engine and chassis.
- Too much stressing of the engine creates additional heat that can melt or de-shape the rubber mounts. In this case, replacement is the only option.
- Front collision of a Mitsubishi can cause permanent damage to engine mounts.
- Fluid leaks in hydraulic mounts are the common cause of worn-out engine mounts.
Symptoms of Failing Engine Mount
A worn-out or damaged engine mount can be identified by a number of symptoms. The most common symptoms of a damaged engine mount are mentioned below.
- Bumpy Ride: Damaged mount causes jolt and thrust while changing gears, as the transmission is not properly attached with the Mitsubishi frame. These jolts can also be observed while driving at a higher speed.
- Escalated Vibrations: It is the most common symptom of a failing engine mount. More than usual vibrations are observed throughout the journey.
- Rocky Start: Excessive lurch and vibrations are observed from the Mitsubishi ignition system. These lurches are followed by excessive vibrations and sounds.
- Physical Damage: Corrosion, cracks and leaks are often observed when mounts are damaged.

- If you feel excessive vibrations while driving, hear unusual noises coming from the engine compartment, or notice that the engine is not sitting level in the engine bay, these may be signs that the engine mount needs to be repaired or replaced.
- A visual inspection of the engine mount can also reveal cracks, tears, or other damage that may require repair.
- The repair process will depend on the extent of the damage. In some cases, the mount may simply need to be tightened or repositioned. In other cases, the mount may need to be replaced entirely.

Engine mounts are designed to last for the life of the vehicle, but they can wear out over time due to the constant stress of engine operation. It is recommended to have the engine mounts inspected during routine maintenance and replaced if they show signs of wear or damage.
