Rubber engine mount

What is a rubber engine mount and what is its function?

A rubber engine mount secures the engine to the chassis while simultaneously absorbing vibrations and shocks. The rubber material absorbs engine movement that occurs during acceleration, shifting and driving. This reduces noise and vibration transferred to the cabin and chassis.

Why a rubber engine mount is important for trucks.

Truck engines generate significant power and vibration. A properly functioning rubber engine mount contributes to driving comfort and protects surrounding components from excessive stress. Worn engine mounts can lead to additional noise, vibrations and damage to the drivetrain.

Rubber engine mounts for truck brands.

BAS Parts & Tyres supplies rubber engine mounts suitable for various truck brands and engine configurations. All engine mounts are selected based on fitment, damping performance and durability.

For which brands are rubber engine mounts available?

• DAF
• Scania
• Volvo
• MAN
• Mercedes-Benz
• Renault Trucks
• Iveco

When should a rubber engine mount be replaced?

Rubber engine mounts wear out due to age, heat and continuous load. When the rubber loses its damping properties, the engine may move more than intended, causing increased vibrations.

Which signs indicate wear?

• Increasing vibrations in the cabin or chassis.
• Knocking or clunking sounds during acceleration or shifting.
• Cracks or hardening of the rubber.
• Visible sagging of the engine position.

Difference between rubber engine mounts and metal engine mounts.

Rubber engine mounts are designed to dampen vibrations, while metal engine mounts primarily provide structural support. In many trucks, both types are combined to achieve an optimal balance between comfort and stability.

When do you choose a rubber engine mount?

• When vibration damping and comfort are important.
• For standard engine configurations.
• As part of a complete engine mounting system.

Installation of a rubber engine mount.

Installing a rubber engine mount requires proper alignment and correct engine support. Incorrect installation can reduce the lifespan of the engine mount.

Points to consider during installation.

• Support the engine safely during installation.
• Use the specified tightening torque.
• Check alignment after installation.
• Test for vibrations and noise after fitting.
