The combustion engine and gearbox are the two most important components in a car. In the absence or inoperative condition of at least one of them, it is no longer possible to make a full-fledged movement on the vehicle. In each car, the engine and transmission are fixed in the engine compartment on special supports that prevent them from swinging and deforming.
The ICE support is a special rubber-metal assembly, which, despite its simple design, plays an essential role in the operation of the car. Remarkably, this mechanism performs several very contradictory characteristics at once. On the one hand, the engine support secures the power plant to the vehicle body as rigidly as possible, and on the other hand, it softens the transmission of engine vibrations to other parts. Thus, this device does not allow the unit to move and at the same time prevents the transmission of vibrations that are created during its operation.
So that the power plant does notmoved from the mounts, the engine mount must be as strong and wear-resistant as possible. For this, the basis of this mechanism is a metal structure, on the outer side of which there are rubber pads. They reduce all vibrations, and also dampen the engine when the car hits bumps.
The support must be manufactured according to special requirements, which can only be calculated on factory equipment. Therefore, to keep the motor from moving
felt in the longitudinal and transverse directions, the manufacturing plant carefully controls the properties of the rubber cushion and its metal base. Ideally, this part should not be very soft, since with excessive depreciation, the unit sways strongly, which leads to a decrease in vehicle controllability and a lot of tire wear on the drive wheels. When hitting bumps, this engine mount also provokes involuntary disengagement.
Now almost all modern cars are equipped with gel or hydraulic bearings. In the upper part of such parts is an oily liquid. The latter reduces vibration and acts as a shock absorber.
In terms of service life, a regular engine mount can last about 50,000 kilometers. After reaching
during this run, noticeable vibrations are felt in the cabin. This suggests that the front and rear engine mounts have become unusable. But when buying, you should not bypass the so-called tuning parts. Despite the fact that in the domesticthey appeared on the market only a few years ago, their characteristics deserve everyone's attention. To be convinced of the quality of such parts, it is enough just to read the reviews of the car owners who purchased them. Thanks to the tuning support, the car has a more even acceleration and better grip. There is also more traction on the rear wheels. The car behaves confidently on the road, especially when cornering. And they cost from 1000 to 1500 rubles; standard parts - up to 900 rubles.
