RE: motor mounts that break

By John - 11/17/2001 11:46:55 PM; IP 142.177.55.94

I just have to wonder about this one. Even though we all think of ...say 400Hp as a lot of power, it is nothing compared to the strenth a motor mount can take when you work out the torque. I do admit, your problem sounds like a torque problem, but could something else be wrong.....like...hmm..who knows? OK...the driver's side is breaking because that's the side that lifts up during hard acceleration/power. The other side is under compression and will be just impossible to break.

So I guses you will have to find a better quality mount (most are made in Mexico these days so, ... good luck!)

OK...here's a thought...is it an automatic? Maybe when it shifts, there is a momentary "clunk" that that puts an undue impact on the motor mount. Hell...it's a weird one...but I'd look back on your driving and see if anything unusual occurs when you are toodling around that might explain it.

This thread, so far...
