motor mounts
Vibration-dampening engine brackets
Motor mounts are brackets or cushions that secure an engine to a vehicle's frame while absorbing vibration.
They typically combine rigid metal with rubber or similar dampening material.
When motor mounts wear out, the engine may shake excessively or shift position: The mechanic said my rough idle was caused by bad motor mounts.
