Mitsubishi Galant Motor Mounts & Mounting Hardware

Motor mounts perform two principal functions – one is obvious, and another is not. Motor mounts make sure that the engine sits where it’s supposed to. Braking, acceleration, cornering, shaking on potholes, or even minor accidents – none of these factors are allowed to relocate the assembly, and the mounts make sure that they won’t. Another crucial purpose of motor mounts is cushioning oscillations. No matter how carefully the engine is balanced, it generates vibrations. Hadn’t been they smoothened, they would make the ride in your Mitsubishi Galant rather uncomfortable.

To soften vibration, motor mounts use flexible inserts. Doing largely the same what suspension bushings do, these inserts are susceptible to identical problems – wear, aging, and deformation. However, unlike bushings, the requirements for the motor mounts are higher. Some of them even have special gel inside for better efficiency. If you have these mounts impaired, the replacement of the entire mount is the only sensible solution. And it's better not to postpone this job – the loads that the given holder is supposed to carry get distributed among the rest of the underpinnings hence causing their intensive wear. In other words, if you don’t change the worn-out mount now, you will change two or three of them in a not that distant future.
