Change engine mounting
« on: December 02, 2008, 12:40:51 AM »
Has anyone changed their Latio's engine mounting before ? I feel my 3 yr old Latio when go over hump, feels more wobbly than ever, leading me to suspect the engine mounting are lose. Anyone change before, how much and where you change ? Thanks.

Usually when mounting is gone or worn, there will louder engine noise as well as increase in vibration.

engine mounting problem will lead to car vibrating more. Put ur car to "P", is ur steering wheel vibrating. Put to "D" and feel any diff? If vibrating can be felt , most prob ur mounting if loose or wear and tear. If not, most prob is ur suspension. If u have change to a aftermarket spring. it will shorten ur suspension life span.

Mountings should be covered under normal warranty.
