engine/tranny support question

[spyghost]

hi,

i am driving an 8 year old lancer glx (first owned). it's just an all stock, city driven car, though sometimes manila-pampanga, manila-meycauayan.

medyo mayanig na ang makina nya, ramdam na ng onti sa cabin. pag bukas ang pinto e up/down na ang movement ng door. during idle, ok pa sya, pero once na nag-engage na ang aircon, e nagiiba ang yanig - mas malikot, pero 900 parin naman ang rpm.

i looked into my engine support and i found no cracks to all of them. question ko ngayon e, dapat na ba palitan ang engine support kahit wala pang crack? at this stage, do i need to change it na?

[niky]

The rubber itself might be old and hard already... but there are also other possible reasons for the vibration... still, replacing the mounts at this point might be a good idea if they haven't been replaced yet.

yup, mahirap din makita yung cracks sa likod. minsan you have to pry the rubber a bit to see if meron. bring it to a shop and have it checked well imo.

Totoo ang sabi ni Speedyfix that motor mount hard to see kung broken o hindi. It look's like buo ang itsura kung titingnan mo pero that rubber between the motor(engine mounting) and the mounting on the chassis are compressing the rubber that is why hard to see kung split na o hindi. I wont risk myself looking under with the motor idling, but your case is a motor mount ang sira.

What the heck, replace it total mura lang naman yan at pagod na sa kabubuhat ng buong makina sa loob ng WALONG TAON.

ano magandang replacement brand para sa lancer glx 4g15 carb? napakamahal ng orig na mitsu motor mount e. i'll be spending around 12k just to replace all 4. yung jac na replacement e mga 7k. me feedback po ba tayo dito sa brand na to?

i own a mitsu lancer. i have already replaced by engine supports late last year.
i think i only spent around 3.5k for all of them.

jak yung brand.... replacements.
i think OEMs costs three times as much.

[speedyfix]

3x minimum in some cases. minsan more pa. hehe!
