Diagnosing And Servicing Active Motor Mounts
For many years, auto makers relied on solid rubber motor mounts to support the engine. The natural flexibility in rubber allows the mounts to absorb vibration. However, if the rubber is too compliant, the engine may experience excessive motion under load that could stress and crack exhaust pipes and connections. And with such tight clearances under the hood, there’s a risk of something rubbing against something else and causing additional noise or problems. So the rubber in the mounts has to be relatively stiff to limit compliance so the engine does not rock excessively when it is under load.
