Engine mounts are one of the most important parts in a vehicle or industrial equipment. They can be found in airplanes, cars, trains, boats, trucks, buses, tractors and any other vehicle or equipment that uses a motor or engine. Have you ever thought about what keeps your engine in place in your vehicle? The answer is engine mounts. These small parts are imperative to the proper and safe function of any moving machine. 

Importance of Engine Mounts:

If you put a fragile item into a box and shake it around, it will probably become damaged. The item may even damage the box itself. However, if you secure the fragile item using rods and cushions to hold it in place, it will stay still when the box is shaken. Engine mounts work in the exact same way. The engine mounts absorbs noise and vibrations from the engine while securing it in place. Having put through constant pressure, these engine mounts do not last forever and will need replacing after some time. This engine mount kit also has anti-freeze in it to prevent it from cracking under extreme cold weather conditions.If you are hearing clunks and feel like the engine is bouncing during stops or sudden acceleration then this may likely be the culprit. Engine mounts are crucial to a functioning vehicle and would stop the engine from moving around when operating. engine mounts can wear out and fail in time like tires and floor mats. If the rubber is cracked or wearing out, it's time to get a replacement. A failing engine mount would cause the engine to vibrate in the engine compartment and causes damaged to the systms through the movements. engine mounts can control heavy vibrations of the engine and prevent the vibration from being carried throughout the vehicle. engine mounts can also apply extra support to your engine and transmission and reduces engine noise.

Here are some of the benefits of using engine mounts:

• Reduce excess vibration and noise
• Keep engines from sustaining damage
• Extend the lifespan of the engine and connected sensor components
• Keep transmission and other vital parts from sustaining damage
• Engine mounts are designed to absorb the energy of the system and become worn out after a while and may require a replacement. It’s important not to wait to replace your engine mount or your vehicle may be damaged.?

Follow the steps below for some handy tips for replacing engine mounts. 

• Step 1: Check for clearance against the firewall before attempting to raise the engine. Tearing radiator hoses, crimping AC lines or cracking distributor caps should be avoided.
• Step 2: Secure the engine on a jack with various blocks of wood. Never jack an engine directly by the oil pan. The pan will bend and rupture.
• Step 3: Loosen the engine from the mount bolts. Sometimes a long extension and universal joint is the way to go.
• Step 4: Next, crawl under the vehicle and loosen the mount-to-frame bolts.
• Step 5: Jack-up the engine a little at a time and remove the motor mount.
• Step 6: Compare the old and new motor mounts. Transfer any heat or drip shields to the new mount.
• Step 7: Thread in the mount-to-frame bolts before lowering the engine. This will simplify mount alignment.
• Step 8: Lower the engine and fully tighten all bolts.
• Step 9: Front-wheel-drive vehicles often have third "dog-bone" motor mounts.?
