An engine mount is just that-it mounts the engine to a vehicle. It keeps the engine from moving or shifting
Out of place while the vehicle is operating.
An engine mount consists of two attached metal parts with rubber in between. One side of the mount is bolted
To the engine while the other is attached to the frame. The rubber in the center absorbs vibrations while
Allowing a small amount of movement.
Hydraulic mounts are drivetrain mounts filled with hydraulic fluid to better isolate vibrations.
In most cases, engines and transmissions are attached to the chassis by mounts made of solid rubber or neoprene. Hydraulic mounts are becoming more widespread because the hydraulic fluid they contain more effectively damps vibrations, which better isolates the rest of the vehicle structure and its occupants.
Stabilizer Bar Linkis a torsion bar mounted laterally on a suspension and is designed to reduce side sway. The sway bar attempts to accomplish this by transferring movement from one side of the suspension to the other. This is done through the connection of a torsion bar to each side of an axle by flexible links.
The control arm bushing consists of an outer metal sleeve, a durable rubber bushing and an inner metal
Sleeve. It's attached to the ends of the control arm as it's supported to the frame of the vehicle. Without the
Bushing, the metal ends of the control arm would be mounted to the frame and cause metal-to-metal contact. This would cause major clunking as the suspension maneuvers over bumps and other
Deviations on the roads. The bushing acts as a hinged dampener to cushion the suspension and provide
A more manageable and quiet ride. Most frontwheel drive cars that employ struts only use a lower control
Arm, but many trucks and SUVs have an upper and lower control arm.
Torque struts, also known as a torque strut mount or strut torque, keep the engine and transmission from vibrating. Basically, the torque strut mount is to keep the engine and transmission from vibrating excessievely. This smooths the ride, keeps the engine/transmission from excessivel stressing the engine/rtansmission mounts on the frame, and provides for a smoother ride and better drivability. Without the torque strut mount, the top of the engine would be unsupported and damage to the drive train would occur.
