is it bad if one side of the engine mount is not bolted on? coz i just realised that that all this sound ive been hearing wen i reverse out of drive way is the soound of my engine mount loose.. is this something that i must get fixed up asap? like will it stress me out?
The engine mounts are there for a reason.
It's best if they're all in working order.
yeah definatly get it bolted up ASAP. You'll find that all sorts of things will be out of whack, starting with shifting gears and movingonto oil leaks. etc.
its real bad, especially LHS.
the noise you hear is only a small problem. more serous problem is snapping the engine mount to block bolts and risk damaging the block
how was the bolt loose in the first place? was it caused from vibrations? if so just put lock tite screw/bolt silicon (i think its called that) its prevents vibrations on your "NUTS" and BOLTS haha
i had a similiar case where the bolt engine mount bolt was loose due vibrations, all fix now!
We'll I begin by saying that it's not good... and leave it there
WTF ther loose. Tighten them up asap or bye bye engine.
a loose engine mount may lead to it cracking, if it hasn't already done so. an indication that it's cracked is oil leaking from the mount itself. it's best if you tighten it before the mount cracks, or worse yet, the engine block itself will be damaged.
