rubber engine mount
My mechanic told me that the rubber engine mounts on my 2001 Civic need
to be replaced. He said that they seem to be a common issue for that generation. Can I see the rubber to confirm? Or is it hidden from view? |

The rear one may be very difficult without lying on the engine and peering down between engine and firewall with a flashlight. What you do is have somebody sit in the car, and start it. MAKE SURE THE PARKING BRAKE IS ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. Now, with the observer lying atop the engine and peering down as described, put the transmission in Drive, then into Reverse. Watch the action of the rear mount. The others may be observed with the observer standing normally. What you're looking for is excessive flex in the mounts. Cracks may not be visible until the mounts have flexed. The above procedure can also be performed with a manual transmission car by slipping the clutch just enough to load the mounts. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
