What Are Engine Mounts?

Engine mounts, formally known as engine mounts or engine foot pads, are elastic components that connect a vehicle's engine to the frame (or body). They are typically made of rubber or other polymer materials and may contain a metal skeleton for added strength and stability. The primary function of engine mounts is to absorb and dampen vibrations generated by engine operation, preventing these vibrations from being transmitted directly to the vehicle body, thereby improving driving smoothness and comfort.
