engine mounts
Powertrain attachment points
Engine mounts are the brackets and cushions that secure an engine to a vehicle's frame or body.
They absorb vibration and reduce noise transmission to the cabin.
When mounts wear out, the engine may shift noticeably during acceleration or produce excessive vibration: The mechanic said my engine mounts needed replacing.
