Subaru Motor Mounts

Why You Need to Fix a Worn Motor Mount Urgently

When the motor mount wears out, the engine can shift excessively, causing knocking, misalignment, and strain on other components. Whether you drive a Subaru WRX, an Outback, or any other Subaru, ignoring this can lead to annoying consequences. These include performance issues, noise, and even damage to surrounding parts.

What Does the Engine Mount Do?

The engine mount secures your Subaru's engine to the chassis, minimizing movement during acceleration, braking, and cornering. It also isolates engine vibration so it doesn't transfer to the cabin, keeping your ride smooth and quiet.

Reasons to Replace a Damaged Motor Mount ASAP

1. Prevent Engine Misalignment

Shifting engine position can lead to worn belts and hoses, or contact with other components.

2. Stop Vibration and Noise

Broken mounts allow the engine to rattle against the frame, creating loud noise and harsh vibrations.

3. Protect the Transmission

A loose engine can put stress on transmission mounts, leading to gear engagement issues.

4. Restore Driving Comfort

Replacing a worn mount smooths out the ride and reduces cabin noise during acceleration.

5. Avoid Costlier Repairs

Delayed replacement can affect exhaust components, hoses, and valve cover alignment.

Why Choose Genuine Subaru Engine Mounts?

OEM Subaru engine mounts are designed specifically for the WRX platform. They absorb vibration efficiently and resist premature wear under high-performance conditions. Aftermarket mounts often fail to match Subaru’s exact material specs or geometry.
