The design of the vehicle includes engine mountings that reduce vibration loads and vibrations of the internal combustion engine in the engine compartment. In addition, these mountings minimize the transfer of stress to the vehicle body. The engine is attached to the supporting elements of the body through special supports. Any problems with the engine mountings will result in reduced functionality. This is accompanied by the appearance of strong vibration and noise during the operation of the motor.

The engine mounting terms of usage

The VAICO brand Engine Mounting can serve a certain period. In order to perform its work reliably, the mounting must have high wear resistance and strength. Therefore, the design of the part is a steel base, equipped with rubber pads in the areas of the joint with the motor. The latter dampen the vibrations produced by the running engine.

The main cause of all problems is the rubber insert, which over time cracks or breaks under load. Less often, the metal parts of the mounting themselves are broken.
