Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Do motor mounts deteriorate?

[Tom W]

I may be my imagination but it seems like i am feeling more engine vibration than before. Do motor mounts go bad? Anybody have any info on this - price - difficulty changing, etc. ?



Thanks

Yes they do. On my '98 12 valve you could look down and see the rubber gone inside the mount. My engine was sliding back and forth about a 1/4". I got mine from the Dodge dealer. I don't remember what I payed for them. The driver's side was easy, the passenger side was a pain in the ***. -Glen

They can go bad, I recently replced a pair on a 92, one of which was totally broken and allowing the whole motor to lean under torque. Vibration could be casued by something else however, an exhaust pipe touching a frame rail or crossmember for example.

Yah they just wear out a little too much rattling and torque pulling on them
