Clunking Noise When Your Car or Truck Accelerates? A New Engine Mount Could Be the Easy Fix

Shop for New Auto Parts at 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/c/104/au/engine-mount
Do you hear a clunking noise in your car or truck when you accelerate, or shift gears? That noise could be due to worn out engine mount bushings! The easy fix is to replace the engine mounts. In this video, Sue explains how the rubber bushing material in engine mounts dries up, cracks, and breaks over time, leading to noise. The bushings are to dampen movement when the engine is put under load. When the rubber breaks down, the metal parts of the mounts will knock together, making clunking or banging noises!

Brilliant camera and audio capture for the worn motor mount demo! This is a top notch tutorial.

[@icecold337]

I love when Sue and Andy have these types of videos uploaded...informative and right to the point. 👍🏼

[@DashCamSerbia]

No love for Len? 😮

[@me21464]

Thank you! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="177">2:57</a> am and my son just got to work and text me his car is making a cranking noise when he accelerates. I came to KZbin to find the answer!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@martymcfly3986]

i live her videos, she is so good and explains so well

[@oasiasoasiaso]

Exactly the same I wanted to comment.

[@jupavalos]

Beat me to it definitely her videos are the best!

[@mobilecommunicationsnetwor5268]

The subframe bushings going bad also produce the same type of clunking I've observed. This is a critical inspection .Make sure that that subframe does not pull away from the frame. Could allow engine to drop.

[@user-yf7rt2pz2u]

She is right . I have learned that when refreshing a car when your going it another service life replace the mounts and bushings it’s makes a good darn difference

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Just replaced mine after a crooked mechanic tried to tell me I needed a new transmission. I hate LIARS, I laughed in his face.

[@krystle4248]

Great Video! I really liked the zooming in on the problem with the circle around it, as it helped to view exactly what you were talking about. Suggestion--- If you had a bright neon colored skinny pointer (or any type of pointer but what I wrote above is what I think would work best), to point to the exact problem, it would help to see during the regular part of the video, BUT MAN OH MAN WOULD IT POP AND BE SO VERY CLEAR WHEN YOU DO THE ZOOM IN WITH THE CIRCLE AROUND IT TRICK!

[@Ed3kidsconnelly]

She’s awesome. I’ve trying to figure out a shutter in my town n country for a while but never thought to check the motor mounts. Started in cold weather n now it’s all the time however sporadic. First thing tomorrow morning. Thanks so much

[@SylverSterling]

I love how she described the problem in detail. This is exactly what is going on with one of my cars. In drive and reverse it vibrates on stop and makes the bop sound on take off. I thought it was exhaust but mechanic said engine mount and i doubted him. Will be replacing it this week so hopefully problem will be solved. Thank you for this video!

[@racerxxracer3033]

Your the best💪💯👍🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@BOOMER9551]

Would a bad trans mount cause pulling under acceleration only. ?

[@DashCamSerbia]

I get clunking noise when I release the throttle, and not every time. Have no idea what it is. Changed the lower mount, the tie rod ends that where bad, the left CV axle (noise when tuening left under throttle, but turned out it is the right one which I did not change), no play in the suspension. Don't know... :I

[@stefcia420]

Omg the throwing parts part, I’ve replaced my entire front suspension and subframe and now my mechanic is telling it’s the motor mount

[@samukahtviv1]

Hi!​ Is this my problem? My vehicle doesn’t vibrate , sometimes I don’t even feel it running. But I felt the thumping sensation when I was decelerating from 30mph at a traffic light. when braking it catches the rotors but then there’s a delay felt as if transmission slipping, or lagging brake but it’s similar to when accelerating post coasting/engine braking. Vehicle is clocked at 215k 2007 Avalon

[@user-bl5op4oo9m]

I have a few questions. I hope you can help me. I have a 2006 ford five hundred it has the 3.0 engine in it. I I have had some trouble out of the motor it won't take gas when you press down on the gas. The gas pedal will only go up to about 3 on the on the tac omter it won't go any further it runs rough and will not. Change Gears what do you think is wrong with it. If you could help I sure would appreciate it I have worked on it for about a month off and on

[@tallgiraffelady]

I put my car in park at stoplights because when I come to a stop in drive, the engine pushes up against the cooling fan and grinds. My lower motor mount bolt snapped and stuck inside the engine, so the engine moves back and forth. I need to remove the snapped bolt.

[@jmloloken2391]

How much do they cost to fix,?

[@lemmykilmister873]

🤔

[@kevinftw16]

Sue how much for you to come change my motor mounts on my 5 cylinder Acura? Haha I'd love to be a customer of yours

[@ambroseleung1222]

I love your new intro 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ahotdj07]

Personally speaking from experience, I would only put OEM Honda motor mounts on my car.

[@WPHSBandGeek]

I’ve been reading a lot about this regarding Honda. The price cost though just oof. My pockets are empty as is. But I also don’t wanna deal with a short term low cost replacement

[@user-se8gt9sr8n]

Thanks you sis it helped me so well ❤️‍🩹
