How To Confirm Engine Mount Failure - EASY DIY Checks

In this video I showcase the best ways to confirm if your engine mount needs to be replaced, this is the same process to diagnose any failed mount no matter the design make or model.
I work on a Ford Focus 2.0 litre in this video but the method applies to pretty much all Makes and Models.

I have the exact same problem with my Mazda 3 BK (identical engine mount) and I'm getting it replaced in 2 days. What I don't understand is, why 64 people disliked this video... Why? It's perfectly valid and solid information. Thanks for sharing!

Great video I have the same engine and its very noise and rough when accelerating so will check the mount this weekend, any reason you didn't check the other two mounts? should we replace all three at the same time?

Hi, have a Mazda 5 2014 you have save me big trying to find out the mount that is bad one out of the three. But when you say there is no space and it was at an angle it help grately thank.

[@annharms6410]

They are good, I am looking visuals to check ours.

[@branislavstano743]

Great Video well done. My TT has vibration on pick up mainly especially on lower gears an then when i press the foot down on motorway in higher speed. I changed the driveshaft as the cv boot was torn but it improved only slightly. do you think It would be engine mount?

[@Shaimahsvlog]

thank you very helpful information that same happen to my car now i can go to car shop

[@Charkatak]

Good video! I suspected a side mount being semi-compromised on my 2010 Honda Fit/Jazz. While I haven't yet checked it but I do hear some roar when vehicle is cold and RPM is still high(1500) at idle and feel vibration throughout the chassis when in D at the traffic light.

[@michart3073]

Very good movie thank you

[@stigflambard9799]

Great video! I seem to get a similar vibration on right lock only, not in a straight line on my 04 Focus. It seems to be off side upper suspension area. Is this a mount? Thank you.

[@andreaferrante2296]

Hi robert, im own one 500x 1.4 multiair, my mechanic say the cause why my car shaking is the partially collapse of the engine mount but why when is cold i feel this vibration everywhere inside the cabin and when is warming up don't shake anymore but i can earn small noise on the engine ?? Thank you 😊

[@DonkeyBuzzard]

what i'm hearing when i'm in the low gears, are clunking sounds and slight nudges coming from frontunder. dont know if its engine mount failure or problem with clutch wheel.

[@mrbreezeet1]

01 Pontiac Grand Prix. What is a decent motor mount that won't break the bank? Everybody on the internet is saying that anchor and DEA are junk. I am not looking to spend $80 at the general motors dealership. I am not real hard on my car will a anchor or DEA Mount be good enough for me?

[@bar7294]

Does the vibration go away if you move into neutral and let it freewheel? my focus is vibrating only when driving in gear. no vibration at idle or when freewheeling? cheers

[@robinsongguitars]

A friend has a 2018 Ford Escape that pulls sharply to the right under acceleration. I have test driven it and it has no vibration, clunking or any other noises, etc. The engine does not torque, vibrate or jerk at idle and then when you blip the accelerator pedal. Nothing unusual other than sharp pulling. It drives straight until you quickly depress the accelerator pedal. Any suggestions? thx

[@mkilptrick]

Is there an engine mount also on the right side?

[@radanovicm1]

My ford c max starts a bit rough, also i hear nosie in the cabin too but it dissapears when i depress the clutch, do you think the engine mounts could be problem here

[@rohitkalkar8006]

Is it possible ? That bad mount noise comes on bad roads? In sudden random jerk??

[@gabioprea6020]

Superrrrrr

[@ethanadams3103]

My car shakes or jerks when accelerating and decelerating, is that a sign if bad engine mounts

[@veritasliberabitvos1201]

how expensive is that to fix ? thinking of buying a ford ghia for 2k.. owner says needs a new mount

[@kristapsjurgenbergs6622]

There was vibration about 2000-2500rpm? I have b6 passat 4motion it shakes exactly ar 2000-2500rpm in gera 3456 I hope its mount! Before and after these rpms its perfekt

[@DashCamSerbia]

What about clunking when releasing the throttle sudenlly? On Sandero 1.4 MPI. I changed the lower mount, and the left CV axle. Plus the tie rod ends that where bad. Still get the clunking.

[@Under_Dark]

Can it be the dual mass flywheel?

[@DashCamSerbia]

@@Under_Dark Maybe, but my car does not have it.

[@AmongUs-mb4qx]

My fuel economy went up after engine mount replacement, is this normal? How can this happen?

[@kervinwillmott2313]

Hi, I have I think the same problem but it happens when I first pull away and if I put it in reverse. I get a “clonk” noise. Almost like a worn cv joint but only clonks once. Any ideas

[@natwind8472]

Transmission mount?

[@c.p.5741]

I feel it on the floor of car near peddle when I'm driving. Is that normal? Is this the mounts?

[@roflolwtfomg]

Thank you I just had something happen to my car and all signs are pointing to engine mount failure

[@bwill578]

I knew some of my motor mounts were wore but didn't have that much vibration. After I replaced all of them now i have a terrible vibration while in gear in the cabin of the car. Mitsubishi Galant.

[@taylortuso2518]

how can i diagnose burnt clutch vs bad engine mount

[@alexiscape8750]

If the engine support already broken it has knocking sound? My car theres no vibrating

[@ivanuremovic1199]

Nice video. I think that I also have a bad engine mount on my car, but I'm not sure. My gearstick moves up and down when I just press gas pedal a bit, and when I change gears there's a lot of "jerk" even if I change them almost at 4k RPM. Also, sometimes randomly I can hear some vibrations in my cabin, but it does not happen all the time. So yeah, is it engine mount or something else? And yes, it's just a 1.2 Clio from 2005 if someone wonders.

[@GregGum]

Watch the video and do the tests as given.

When i turn on my car it vibrates really bad also whei put it in drive and press the gass it vibrates as well?

Not meant to be slanted then!! And should be solid yes!

As an American I need to watch this video flipped.

[@Spot_Of_Knowledge]

A glass of water on the car body and the vibration will be shown clearly

Yup....the ratling vibration sound familiar and cost me a lot...

The engine mounts manufactured in the vehicles from the years of 1950,1960,1970,1980,1990.,,,,,would last far longer than the ones made today !

[@remelitomendoza180]

It’s a ford. What u guys expect

[@GodsWorld189]

Really,,, wow, I own a 2013 ford transit connect with 357,568 thousand miles on it and counting, easiest thing to work on. And the Parts are inexpensive, but here’s the thing they’re not manufactured in Mexico or the United States. 👍 You should buy one just for shit’s and giggles. 😎 No rust, original engine, but then again I’m a car enthusiast with tools and nohow who gives this vehicle a lot of respect. And I still get 28 miles to the gallon.

[@plantmanstudios]

Just sell your car after it gets 45,000 miles on it and buy a new one. Any more miles and things start to fail. Just get a new car and keep buying a new car every time you run up 45K on the car. Let some other smuck deal with the problems they are destined to have.

[@TheCezahFaez]

I have to agree this is terrible advice. My 2001 Volvo V70 has 263K miles and this is the only major vibration I’ve ever felt
