What's involved

What this repair actually is.

Engine mounts are rubber-and-metal cushions that hold the engine to the frame and absorb its movement. When they tear or collapse, you feel the engine's vibration in the cabin and hear clunks when shifting or accelerating. We identify the failed mount(s) and replace them.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Clunk or thud when shifting into drive or reverse
  • Strong vibration felt in the seat or steering wheel at idle
  • Engine visibly rocking when revved
  • Knocking over bumps
  • Jerky movement when accelerating
If you delay

A collapsed mount lets the engine shift and strain hoses, wiring, and the exhaust — and puts extra load on the remaining mounts.
