Buy Engine Mounts Rubber Online

Engine Mount buying guide — what to know before you buy

Engine mounts (motor mounts) secure the engine and gearbox to the vehicle chassis while isolating vibration and noise. Worn mounts cause excessive vibration, clunking during acceleration, and can allow the engine to shift position, straining exhaust and coolant connections. At CarParts247 we stock engine mounts from Lemförder, Febi, and Corteco.

Symptoms of worn engine mounts

Engine mount failure is progressive. Rubber mounts crack and sag over time, while hydraulic mounts can leak their damping fluid. Both types cause noticeable vibration when they fail.

Excessive vibration felt through the steering wheel, pedals, or seat
Clunking or thudding when accelerating, braking, or shifting gear
Engine visibly moves or tilts under load — check by opening the bonnet and blipping the throttle
Exhaust manifold cracks or coolant hose failures — engine shifting strains connections
Increased noise transmission into the cabin at idle

Rubber vs hydraulic mounts

Rubber mounts are simple, durable, and inexpensive. Hydraulic (liquid-filled) mounts provide better vibration damping but cost more and can leak. Some vehicles use a combination of both.

Rubber mounts: inspect for cracks, splits, sagging, or oil contamination
Hydraulic mounts: check for fluid leaks — a collapsed mount has lost its damping fluid
Replace like-for-like — don't substitute a rubber mount for a hydraulic mount or vice versa
Support the engine with a jack before removing any mount to prevent strain on other mounts

Frequently Asked Questions

Are engine mount and engine mounting the same thing?

Yes. "Engine Mount" and "Engine mounting" refer to the same car part. Other common names include Engine mounting, Engine Mounting, Motor Mount. The part is the same regardless of which name is used.

How do I check if my engine mounts are worn?

Open the bonnet, apply the handbrake, and have someone briefly rev the engine while you watch. If the engine rocks or tilts excessively, one or more mounts are worn. Also listen for clunking when shifting between drive and reverse.

Can I drive with a broken engine mount?

Briefly, but the increased engine movement can damage exhaust connections, coolant hoses, and adjacent mounts. It also worsens vibration and noise. Replace worn mounts promptly.

How many engine mounts does a car have?

Typically 3-4: two engine mounts and one or two gearbox mounts. Front-wheel-drive transverse engines often have a top mount, lower mount, and rear (dogbone) mount.

How much does engine mount replacement cost?
