Title: Engine mount query?
Post by: E30Dom on June 15, 2013, 11:38:30 am
Dunno why yet but when braking I'm getting a squeaking sound coming from the engine, and when reversing I'm getting some loud vibration/knocking sounds... Doesn't feel right so will get straight into garage this week...

But does this standard engine mount look right or has it collapsed/ need replacing?

There seems to be no spaces in the mount below, but there's a gap both sides and above the rubber between the metal casing and rubber mount...

I have the lower mounts and car is stage 2+ so engine mounts take some force through...
