Connecting a variety of different parts, within different systems, rubber metal components are crucial for adding support and protection to many safety critical components.
Rubber metal parts must firmly fix their respective components in place, and any signs of wear could lead to more serious damage to the surrounding parts’ Bilstein supplies a range of over two thousand high quality rubber metal components, with OE grade rubber used on all bushes.
A spokesperson said: “The engine mount holds the engine to the car’s sub-frame or engine cradle, it is one of several mounts that holds the engine and the transmission together and in place.
“The mount also protects the engine by absorbing vibrations, and ensures that the metal surfaces do not touch the car body.”
A worn mount may allow excessive engine movement, which could allow surrounding components such as the fan or radiator hoses to make contact, leading to further damage.
Don’t repair, replace
It is important to check the mounting regularly and replace if there are any signs of wear to avoid higher bills and further damage.
“It is recommended that worn mountings are always replaced rather than any repair attempted, as a worn bushing will under-perform,” the spokesperson added.
