Get the Best Priced Hyundai Sonata Engine Mount

The Hyundai Sonata is a clear winner in an overabundance of midsize sedans. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata scored #1 in sedans as ranked by US News and World Reports. It is a sophisticated package, with a Class-leading spacious interior. Superb ride quality, exceptional performance and 37mpg highway mileage, saving you a couple of thousand dollars over the five years of an average car owner. In its simplicity and durability, it excels. It received five star ratings and the Top Safety Pick Award in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests. The Sonata's amazing Dash Tech and Crash Avoidance features make it safer as well as more luxurious than most cars in its class. But the smoothness of that ride is dependent upon the Hyundai Sonata engine mounts holding up and doing their job.

What is an engine or motor mount?

If you look at a Hyundai Sonata engine diagram, you can see that the engine mount holds the engine to the body of the car, or to the engine cradle of the car. The engine and transmission are usually bolted together, and the mounts holding the transmission are called transmission mounts while the engine mounts hold the engine in place. The mounts are filled with rubber to prevent direct metal-to-metal contact between the engine and the body of the car. Some mounts are even filled with fluid or are vacuum controlled to further dampen vibrations.

What are the signs and/or symptoms that a Hyundai Sonata motor mount replacement is needed?

There are a few hard to miss signs that something has gone astray with your Hyundai Sonata motor mounts. There might be a loud noise when you put the car in gear, or vibration when accelerating or driving uphill. The engine or transmission has movement, with clunking sounds and bumping noises. You may actually be able to feel the movement of the engine in the compartment while driving. And of course the always frightening tell tale signs of an oil leak, if you have fluid filled motor mounts.

Other Hyundai Sonata motor mount problems

An engine mount does not need regular maintenance or scheduled servicing. It either is doing its job or it fails and needs replacing. Typical breakdowns occur when the rubber parts break or liquid starts to leak out of a fluid filled mount.

Replacing your Hyundai Sonata Engine Mounts

The best way to save money on motor mount issues is to have the car inspected and repaired as soon as you notice excessive vibration or engine movement.
