Engine Mount: Description and Operation
ENGINE MOUNTING
DESCRIPTION
The engine mounting system (Fig. 100) and (Fig. 102) consists of a four-point system utilizing two load-carrying mounts and two torque struts. The
load-carrying mounts are located on each frame rail. The right mount is a hydro-elastic mount and left mount is a conventional elastomeric isolator.
The two torque controlling struts are attached at the front of the engine, straddling the right side load-carrying mount. The upper strut connects to the
suspension strut tower and the lower to the suspension crossmember.
OPERATION
The four-point engine mounting system minimizes the transmission of structure-borne engine noise to the passenger compartment. The load-carrying
right and left mounts dampen and isolate vertical motion and vibration. The two struts absorbs torque reaction forces and torsional vibrations.
